| Children at the Parkesburg Library enjoy a story activity planned and run by Girl Scouts Paige McKenna (far left) and Libby Sweet (far right). |
This from this week's Community Courier:
Two Girl Scouts from Troop 41385 in the Octorara area
recently presented the program "If You Give a Kid a Story" at the
Parkesburg Library. Paige McKenna and Libby Sweet conducted the program,
held Aug. 1 to 4 for children ages 4 to 6.
Each
one-hour program was focused around one of the following Laura Numeroff
books: “If You Give a Mouse a Cookie,” “If You Give a Pig a Pancake,”
“If You Give a Moose a Muffin” and “If You Give a Cat a Cupcake.”
Each
evening started with the children coloring a themed coloring sheet. The
coloring sheets were mailed to the nonprofit organization
Color-a-Smile, which distributes childrens' drawings and colorings to
shut-ins and the elderly. Other activities included games, songs and
snacks based on the book of the night.
The two
Girl Scouts came up with all of the ideas, did the preparation and ran
the programs in an effort to earn their Bronze Award, which is the
highest award at the Junior Girl Scout level.
