Indian Brook students and Girl Scouts raise funds and donate food to South Shore Community Action Council
Summary
Students from Indian Brook Elementary, their PTA and Girl Scout Troop 84535 raised nearly $150 in bracelet sales and donated additional food and supplies to benefit the South Shore Community Action Council and Indian Brook’s Food for Kids program.
Principal American Manfredi and PTA President Angela Koster presented members of Girl Scout Troop 84535 to the school committee on Jan. 27 to recognize their holiday fundraising and community service. The troop raised close to $150 selling handmade bracelets; those funds were donated to the South Shore Community Action Council (SSCAC). The scouts also partnered with the PTA to buy about $200 in food to support students at Indian Brook and other schools served by SSCAC.
Manfredi said the troop’s donations benefited multiple Plymouth schools that use the South Shore Community Action Council’s services. PTA President Angela Koster said the scouts would receive certificates and pins from Indian Brook and the PTA; each scout would keep one pin and gift a second pin to someone who helped them become “the amazing girls that they are.”
The recognition was presented during the school committee’s public comment portion; the troop and school leaders paused the meeting for a group photo after the presentation.
