Girl Scouts’ Gather Groceries for Food Pantries

Local troop gathered donations while “trick or treating” at Chipain’s.

The girls of Daisy Girl Scout Troop 928, who are first-graders at Oakwood School and Everest Academy, have been quite busy this month. 

They visited Bengston's Pumpkin Farm, earned their Girl Scout Safety Award while on a visit to the Lemont Fire Department and decorated windows at Hayes Auto and Truck Repair.

The troop also gathered two cartfuls of food while “trick or treating” for the Lemont Food Pantries at Chipain's Fresh Market, thanks to generous donations from the Lemont community.

This "Heather Bury" has been linked to not one but two convicted pedophiles...I wonder how they let her be a leader in the girls scouts unless the girl scouts don't know....

Was there ever a time when a full day was offered Jennifer? I was in kindergarten at Oakwood aboutRead More 28 years ago and even then it was half day. If you want full day Kate, St Pats/St Al's, St Cyril's, and I'm sure others are full day.

Let's get real. It is NOT a half day. It is 2.5 hours. By the time kids into class, sing a song,Read More have a snack and pee, they are done for the day. Sorry. Calling a spade a spade on this one.

Is this question really from a teacher? Full-day kindergarTen has a lot of fillers too: they eatRead More lunch, go outside, go to the bathroom, etc. I don't think our public schools allow snacks in the classroom anyway. Any teacher would know that learning starts at home, and a teacher would know how to supplement a kindergarten curriculum.
