Five Books About…Courage

Anne Marie Feld LowellMay 14, 2020

When my daughter was little and something would scare her, a bee, or a heffalump or a woozle from Winnie the Pooh, she’d freeze in place, unable to move. I started singing her a little song, to the tune of “Accentuate the Positive” that went “Be brave, and keep going.”

Thanking Local Firefighters for Being Heroes

Tanuka GordonOctober 27, 2016

For this week's kindness project, we decided to thank our local firefighters for their service. Like our other activities, we kept this project pretty simple. I wanted my girls to know...

"Wow, on behalf of our Girl Scouts troop, a heart-felt Thank You for the thoughtful and enlightening workshop! We are so excited about the breathing and movement skills you shared, linking the concepts of feeling good and doing good, and reminding us these calming tools are useful everyday! This was an invaluable workshop, really well done, and we so appreciate what you all do!”

— Bay Area parent and Girl Scout Troop leader

"I would 100% recommend this program to any school or district as a way to help students learn and utilize social/emotional life long skills and strategies to become more engaged and better learners."

— Michelle John, Superintendent, Paradise Unified

"I learned that in life you have ups and you have downs. I learned something...that is not easy to learn. I learned how much one person can change a whole community."
