Kelly O’Shea, Jane Sullebarger, and Madeleine Hettich all received their Gold Awards at a June 14 ceremony at the College of the Holy Cross in Worcester. The Gold Award is the highest recognition in Girl Scouting, acknowledging an individual’s accomplishments, leadership, commitment, creativity, and personal effort. Each project addresses a community need.
O’Shea created Blizzard Bags that contained many useful items for seniors in the community to use during weather-related emergencies. Sullebarger established a recycling program for the town to properly dispose of and recycle Styrofoam. This sustainable and successful program has been adopted by Harvard’s DPW and is reducing the amount Styrofoam going into the waste stream. Hettich painted a colorful mural with an important message at the Hildreth Elementary School. Based on the children’s book “How Full is Your Bucket,” the message promotes the ideas of including everyone, helping, supporting each other, and doing good deeds each day.
