Hi everyone!
So, March was a fun and games meeting, so April was bit more work-oriented. So, here's what we've been up to:
We started our meetings by remembering Earth Day and going outside to clean up around our schools. The girls did such a great job--I hope they clean their rooms at home as well as they cleaned up around the school!
Then, we moved on to work for our Bronze Award Bicycle Safety Project.
At Highland View the girls broke into groups and made specific lists of what we need for each of several project areas: Bicycle Skills Course, Safety Lecture from the GPD/GFD, and a Safety Trivia Contest/Crossword Puzzle. I'll type those lists up and in May we'll divide up responsibilities. Finally we finished by talking about how to promote the event, and the girls put together promotion plans that'll also be on the "assigned responsibilities" list. (And then we had our snack of course!)
At College Park, the girls had to do some research and thinking! The girls' job at CP was to put together information for a Bike Safety Brochure to give out at the event. The girls decided the brochure will have 6 sections: Rules to follow, Things NOT to do when riding your bike, The dangers of NOT being safe, Hand signals everyone should know, Keeping your bike safe, and Safety equipment for riders. (And we also had a snack.)
In May, we'll talk responsibilities and jobs for the event, but also bring back the fun and do a bunch of Girl Scout games!
If you haven't yet, please make sure to let me know your plans for next year and for the bridging ceremony here: http://www.signupgenius.com/go/10c0a4fa5ad22a13-bridging1
Thanks so much!
