Being a Sister to Every Girl Scout - This Wednesday!

This Wednesday, March 28th, we'll be having an additional meeting as we learn about being a sister to every girl scout.  This will be a chance for the girls to earn their violet petal.  We'll be hosting another Daisy troop and spend time doing crafts and making more SWAPS to exchange with them.  Please remember to include a note for your child's teacher and remind your daughter to pack her tunic Wednesday morning.  We will dismiss the girls at the front of the school at 5pm unless we hear from you that they need to be released into aftercare.

We had a lot of fun at Bingo Bash last Friday... the tension and adrenaline in the air was so thick with every call, you could cut it with a knife!  Thanks to the moms who came out to help.  (I hope your ears have stopped ringing from all the high-pitched screams.)  Here's a picture of our table!

Bingo Bash Reminder!

Hello!

Just a friendly reminder that tomorrow is Bingo Bash!  There are a total of ten girls attending this event.  If anyone needs rides, I can fit three to four more in my car.  Just let me know via e-mail, and I'd be happy to help.

Thanks!

COOKIES!

...as Cookie Monster would enthusiastically say.

They are sorted and ready for pickup!  Thanks to Luisa Bianco, our cookie mom, who has sorted through the 744 boxes!

March Update!

Our next meeting will be Wednesday, March 14 from 3:20 pm to 5:00 pm.  The girls will be earning their "Respect Myself and Others" petal patch (purple).  We're going to try things a little differently at dismissal starting the next meeting:  We will dismiss all the girls in the front lobby of the school instead of the back of the school by the art and music rooms;  caregivers and parents can wait outside until we open the doors.  And don't forget to include a note for the teachers and aftercare staff stating that your daughter will be dismissed with their Daisy leaders for our monthly meeting.

Spots for Daisy Day are filling up quickly!  To guarantee spots for all our girls for this very fun and cool event on Saturday, May 5th, we will need permission slips and fees NO LATER than our next meeting on 3/14.  If you cannot locate the permission slip, we will be happy to e-mail you another copy.

Permission slips for the rescheduled Spring Lambing trips are also due by the next meeting.

MARK YOUR CALENDARS for additional upcoming events::

Thursday, April 12:  We will be adding an extra meeting this day from 6:00pm-7:30 (Location TBA).  This will be a chance for your Daisy to earn the petal "Respect Authority."  There will also be a fun patch to earn for this event for those who have already earned this petal.  There will also be a police K-9 present, so this one is not to be missed!

Whew!  I think that's all for now!  March is certainly roaring in like a lion!  Let us know if you have any other questions!
