Girl Scouts of Greater Atlanta SUPER STEM!

We had a great time at the STEM event on Saturday.  

Here are pictures of all the fun we had!

WEEKLY TROOP NEWS: WK of 04.28.2013

This week:

1. Snack/ Leader: Gabby
2. ALL GIRLS should be practicing their songs (https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLXxB70f62LSkdO8Pg_IXZidgSlwJ2U6gr) and four girls (Abby, Amelia, Megan, Taylor) should also be practicing their lines.
3. Tuesday night: Skate night!!  Let me know if you'd like the details.  Abby and I will be there!!  (She will skate, I will not.  LOL)
4. Wednesday: regular meeting :)
5. Friday: Awards night!!  5:30pm in the Shoal Creek cafeteria.  Girls should wear khaki/tan bottoms, white tops, and their sash/vest/smock.  Dinner will be catered- $10 per adult and $5 per child.  Please come ready to register for 2013-2014.  Girls who are bridging will receive a symbolic uniform (sash made of paper)- they will get their "real" one once registrations for next year are confirmed.  A computer station will be set up where registrations can be completed online.  In addition, girls will receive a prize/patch for each adult who registers with them.  GSUSA has set a goal of at least one adult per girl registered for the next year.  If you have any questions, please let me know!
6. Saturday: Berry picking at Southern Belle.  Several people said they weren't sure.  I need to register our group- please let me know how many ASAP!  :)

 I tried to upload the pictures from Saturday, but the website is giving me a hard time.  I'll get them posted ASAP.  :)

Links to Girl Scout Song videos

Still working on them, but there are a few uploaded and I'll add to them as I complete them.  :)

EDIT 04/23/13: Two more videos added!!  :)

TROOP NEWS: Wk of 04/21/2013

1) Snack/ Leader this week: Rachel

    This week we will continue our planning for awards night!  :)

2) Girls need to practice songs: I'm going to have CDs/DVDs ready for the meeting on Wednesday, but in the meantime, I'll post the videos on youtube (and link to them on our blog and on facebook) as I complete them.  Two down, a few more to go.  :)

3)  IF ATTENDING THIS SATURDAY'S STEM EVENT, PLEASE READ:  Remember, STEM Event this Saturday, 4/27.  Let's plan to meet at the front doors at noon.  (I figure that way we can eat ahead of time and avoid paying crazy $$ for lunch, but still be there relatively early- the event is from 10-4 and estimates 2 hours to complete all activities.)  I will have everyone's tickets to distribute at the door.  Anyone interested in carpooling, feel free to respond to all here to work it out.  I won't be able to carpool (coming from McDonough), but I'm sure it would work out for some of you!  The girls will need to wear jeans and a slim fitting top.  I'm bringing matching t-shirts for the girls to wear- going to keep them like a class set for big outings like this so no one loses theirs/ can't find it, etc.  ;o)  They can throw this oversized t-shirt on top of whatever they're wearing.  :)  If you haven't given me the money yet, please do- it was $5 adults and $10 for the girls.  :)

4) AWARDS NIGHT FRI 4/3: I've left a message for Glenn (of Glenn's BBQ) but haven't heard back.  That is our current plan.  If it doesn't work out, we'll likely end up at a local park, pot-luck style.  I will keep you posted.  I will be going by your response to the online survey as to whether or not the troop buys your girls' new uniform (if they are moving up a level)- so if you were undecided, please let me know as soon as possible.

5) OVERNIGHT TRIP: Planning on Fri 05/31 - Sun 06/02 in the Savannah area (visit the Juliette Gordon Low House, etc.).  I'll be making reservations within the next week or so, so please let me know if you plan to attend. Again, currently planning based on the numbers responded in the online survey, so if there's been a change from your answer there, give me a heads up!  :)

Any questions or concerns, just let me know!  :)

Thanks!!!

4/17/13 Meeting
