Three girl scouts and former students have developed and implemented a project to improve an area at the entrance of the school.

Nicole Marques, Leah Frattellone, and Kelly Weinborg, who are completing their silver award for Girl Scouts, decided earlier this year to spread the importance of friendship and show the benefits through a whirligig.
