Girl Scout Amy Schleicher has earned her Gold
Award, the highest honor and achievement a girl can earn in Girl Scouts.
For her project, “Saint John the Apostle Catholic
School Library and STEM Program Upgrades,” Amy took action in her community by
doing several things to improve the Saint John Apostle (SJA) library and its
offerings. Through her Gold Award, she was able to create a better book drop
location while turning the old one into a functional table. Amy also improved
the convenience of people getting books during times that the library was not
open by designing a freestanding library. The other component of her project
positively impacted both students and teachers looking for science, technology,
engineering and math resources to check out. Amy organized the STREAM closet
and created a database of the items available in the closet to make check out
more efficient.
By completing her project, Amy learned how to
manage her time, work with others and be a leader.
Her project will be sustained by SJA with the help
of instructional materials Amy drafted.
