A Sister to Every Girl Scout

We had a great meeting today! The girls were very excited to exchange their "secret sister" gifts! Thank you to everyone for doing such a good job with participation. We learned how sisters accept each other for their unique differences and treat each other with kindness. The girls brought home their violet petals today. They had fun creating special sidewalk chalk art with their Daisy sisters. Thank you to Mrs. Wooten and Mrs. Ryan for your help today. Also, thank you to Virginia for being a wonderful hostess. Leila will be our hostess at our next meeting. We won't meet again until Wednesday, March 19! But don't forget, we have Girl Scout Sunday this coming weekend. The girls should dress for Mass, but they may wear their Daisy vest/apron. Please drop your Daisy off by the Family Room. We also have the annual Girl Scout Mardi Gras parade on March 4 at 1:30. Please remember that each Daisy should donate a bag of candy. Don't forget that cookie money should be turned in to Jennifer or me ASAP. Please be sure to send cash or check made payable to Troop 13312.

Responsible for What I Say and Do

We had a great meeting today! The girls reviewed what each petal earned stands for and then we discussed what it means to be responsible. We made special responsibility charts to hang on our bedroom doors to keep track of our responsible actions. Each Daisy Scout also selected a secret pal to bring a homemade gift for at our next meeting. Please remember that the gift should be wrapped and should not cost more than $5. The gift should be labeled with a to and from tag. We will not open the gifts at the meeting. The girls will give their gift to be opened at the end of the meeting and is to be opened at home. The girls will then have a "homework" assignment of making a thank you card. Thanks for your help with this as we work to earn our next petal. We took a special picture today as a special thank you to our parents for helping us sell 1662 boxes of cookies. I also suggested to the girls that they print the picture out (you can save it from the blog) and use it as a thank you note to give with each cookie order that they deliver. Natalie was a fantastic hostess today! The grapes were yummy! Our hostess at the next meeting is Virginia. Thank you to Mrs. Lawler and Mrs. Catafygiotu for your help today!
