City recognizes Girl Scout Gold Award recipient for creating learning‑styles resource
Summary
Grand Terrace recognized Simone Bacon for earning the Girl Scout Gold Award after producing a multi-chapter coloring book and online resources addressing different learning styles and accessibility for young students and religious instruction contexts.
The council presented a certificate recognizing Simone Bacon for earning the Girl Scout Gold Award for a two-year project that produced a multi-chapter coloring book and a social-media resource page to help teachers and religious instructors adapt lessons to different learning styles.
Maya Garcia Bacon, Simone’s mother and troop leader, described the project and said Simone "did it all herself" — original drawings, prayers and reflection pages tailored to third‑grade sacramental lessons. Simone told the council she has dysgraphia and wanted to make learning more accessible: "I personally have dysgraphia," she said, adding she wanted teachers and students to have accessible materials.
Mayor Pro Tem Sabino and other council members praised Simone’s initiative and noted the project’s potential benefit for local classrooms and faith‑based instruction. The council took a photograph and presented the certificate of recognition.
What’s next: The recognition is honorary; no council action was required beyond the presentation.
