Photos of the Week
Girl Scout Daisy Troop 10529 of Skaneateles
celebrates Girl Scouts' 103 birthday!
Individually registered Girl Scouts Sheridan and Abbie from Endicott created an anti-bullying activity for their school as part of the take action project in the aMUSE Journey.
They created a positive post-it note board for students to take a positive message when they feel down, or leave one for another student to cheer her up. With the help of the school principal, they made a "self-esteem" station where a desk located under the board will keep blank post-its and pens available for anyone to participate and make a difference for another person.
