I Earned My Bronze Award!

 

I officially earned my Girl Scout Bronze Award and I feel so happy and excited!
The Bronze Award is the highest award a Junior Girl Scout can earn, and it takes a lot of work, planning, and dedication.

Receiving my Bronze Award feels like a huge accomplishment, but I know this is just the beginning. There’s so much more I want to do, and I can’t wait to see what happens next!

Almost Finished With School Deliveries

I’m so excited because I'm almost finished delivering Empower Her Care Kits to schools! It’s been a lot of work, but I am really glad I was able to do this.


This time, I went to more schools in the school district next to mine to make sure as many students as possible have the supplies they need.


Seeing this project grow has been really cool. When I first started, I wasn’t sure how many schools would want the kits, but now so many schools have them! There are only a few more deliveries left and I get to submit my project to Girl Scouts to see if I get my Bronze award!

Delivering Kits to Six Schools in One Day

On my half-day of school, I spent the afternoon doing something really important...dropping off Empower Her Care Kits at six different schools!

It was a lot of running around, but it felt amazing to keep getting these kits into the hands of people who need them. Each school I visited was another place where students wouldn’t have to worry about finding period products.

Walking into each building with my kits, I felt proud knowing that this project is making a real difference. Some schools had already heard about the kits, which was really cool, and others were excited to start making them available. Seeing how supportive everyone is keeps me motivated to keep going.

I can’t wait to do more!

I Got a Letter Back from Senator Neil Breslin

I never expected to get a letter back from a senator, but that actually happened!

A little while ago, I sent a letter to Senator Neil Breslin asking about period products in schools. I wanted to know more about what was being done to make sure students had access to what they need according to New York State Law. I wasn’t sure if he would even see my letter, but he did and he wrote back!

When I opened his response, it felt really cool to know that someone in government took the time to read what I had to say. It made me realize that even though I’m a kid, my voice matters.

Getting this letter back showed me that people are paying attention, and that if you ask questions and speak up, someone will listen. I’m excited to keep learning and finding ways to make a difference.

200 Kits and Counting!

I just hit a huge milestone... 200 Empower Her Care Kits are officially done!

When I started making these kits, I never really thought about how many I would make. I kept upping the goal when I could and now, there are 200 kits that have been made. That’s 200 times someone won’t have to worry about not having supplies.

It takes a lot of work to put these together with sorting products, packing each kit, and making sure they’re ready to be used. But every time I see the growing pile of finished kits, I know it’s all worth it.

I’m excited to keep going and see how many more I can make.

My First Kits Dropped Off!

Hi everyone!

I finally brought my first kits into my school. I packed as many kits could fit into this container that would make it easy for storage. I put my poster on the outside of it and then it was done. Nurse Holly was really nice and supporitve. She told me how much these kits would help students. That made me feel really proud because it meant that my idea was actually making a difference.

That first drop-off was just the beginning. Now, my kits are going in other schools next week and helping other places in the community. .

If you’re ever thinking about starting something to help others, just go for it. You never know how big it might become!

Thanks for reading! More updates soon!
