This past Sunday the Girls Hope Scholars each teamed up with their mentor to compete in a Photo Scavenger through the heart of Kirkwood. The contest included landmarks to identify, history to uncover, silly tasks to accomplish, and many opportunities for creative strategy, all while racing the clock and the other teams. A prize ceremony complete with a review of the photos and plenty of snacks capped off the afternoon.

Thank you to Kerry, who conceived and organized the event, and the other Girls Hope mentors for a fabulous day of laughter and team-building! Apart from providing an engaging opportunity to learn about the local community, the Scavenger Hunt is an example of what it looks like for a community of caring and thoughtful individuals to come together to support the scholars and their growth and have plenty of fun along the way.
