BROWNIE TROOP 527 CELEBRATES ARBOR DAY
Brownie Troop 527 helped celebrate Arbor Day by planting 17 trees Friday at Elizabeth Ide School in Darien. The girls raised the money for the dig with a can drive. Troop members include (top row standing, from left) Shannon, Brianna, Kayla, Allannah, Gianna, Erin, Jennifer, Erin S., Elise and co-leader Indra Williams, (sitting, from left) Emily, co-leader Nicole Ackerman, Emily, co-leader Mary Hougaard, Nora, Sarah and troop leader Angela Schoeberle.
The troop originally collected cans to purchase scrap books for the girls, but Angela Schoeberle evolved the idea into helping the community. “I wanted them to give back to the community, and came up with the idea to purchase trees with our can money,” she said. The trees, including Evergreens, Birch, Maple, and a Poplar hybrid, were purchased from the Arbor Day Foundation.
What a wonderful display of Citizenship!!!
