Scouting News 

Congratulations to the St. Anastasia Brownies and Girl Scouts #182 and #486 as they placed 1st Place Girl Scout/Brownie Group at Main Street Fort Pierce's 23rd annual Sights & Sounds Christmas Parade on Sunday. Both the Junior and Brownies troop marched together. With the parade theme of "A Down Home Country Christmas," the girls dressed like cowgirls and sang, "This Land is Your Land."  Additionally, Girl Scouts are celebrating their 100th Anniversary, so the girls made a banner for the parade. We are proud of how you represented St. Anastasia Catholic School!
