Girl Scouts Spread Spring Cheer
As part of their community service goals, 1st grade Girl Scouts Troop 1783 and 3rd grade Troop 2098 created over 50 handmade spring wreaths, picture frames and inspirational kindness signs for their Beasley teachers and seniors at McKnight Place Assistant Living Facility. While at the senior assisted living facility, the Girl Scouts played a game of Meet a New Friend Bingo and spent quality time with the seniors.
