Former Lincoln-Titus Students' Project Benefits School

Three girl scouts and former Lincoln-Titus Elementary School students develop and implement a project to improve an area at the entrance of the school.

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. 

They chose Lincoln-Titus as the site for the Whirligig because they each attended the elementary school and it signifies where their friendships began. Frattellone and Marques now attend Walter Panas High School and Weinborg is a student at . 

The girl's project included clearing and replanting the front garden bed. Additionally, they designed, made and installed the current structure representing friendship known as a "Whirligig." 

Last month, they held an evening event for other troops to further spread the importance of friendship.

First of all, I don't understand why teachers are paying for anything out of pocket when the supplyRead More lists that parents receive at the end of the summer are as long as their arms. Secondly, SOCIETY lets the kids down?!?!? I think the school taxes in Yorktown should be sufficient so that the teachers don't have to pay any out-of-pocket expenses. SOCIETY does not let the kids down, it is those who are in control of the school tax monies who let the kids down. Perhaps the administrators should take salary cuts, or maybe we should even eliminate some of those administrative positions. No teacher should have to pay for supplies out of pocket.
