World Thinking Day!

Today is World Thinking Day! The theme for World Thinking Day 2012 is girls worldwide say "we can save our planet." The girls should have a patch and a paper to fill out on how they can help the environment.

The council site said this patch can go on the front since it is an official patch. I am not sure where it goes yet. :) I will post that when I find out.

The girls went outside today to sketch something in nature. Most of them said they felt calm, peaceful and happy from their adventure. We have a very smart and fun group of girls.
Next time we meet on March 7th is a special day. We have Jungle Jill coming to visit!! She arrives at 3:30 after we have a quick snack. The 1st grade Daisy Troop will be joining us as well.
We are super excited for her to visit!! If you look at the site and see an animal your child would like to visit, I will try to have her bring it. It will depend on how many she can bring (about 10) and if it is up for travel the day of our event. Please email me any suggestions though! :) Shannon.fisher@cox.net

Patches
Are your patches falling off? Well, Jadyn's are! I am thinking I will be taking her vest to a seamstress to get the patches to stay on. Here is the diagram for the triangle patches. The other patches that they have earned go on the back of the vest. We have the 100th year, the tea party, the cooking patch if they attended, Build a Bear, Peter Piper and now the World thinking (that goes on the front).

Cookie Sales Update
Our council has sold 2,668,147 packages so far! Our troop alone has sold nearly 3,000! I am so proud of our troop for being so amazing! We have one more booth day left from 12-2pm on 2/25 and then we will just be wrapping up individual sales. We will be having a parent/girl meeting at a park soon to talk about what we would like to do with the troop money. The girls have lots of ideas, so it should be fun!

Go Troop 1460!

Booth cuteness!

I love the table set up that Elliot's Grandma made...thank you!
Love these cute girls too! Great job on booth sales Troop 1460!

Cookie Money and Booths

Please make sure you have at least 1/2 of your money turned in by Feb. 20th. That is one week from tomorrow. I am writing one check for my full amount to make it easier, but if you have collected cash that is great. Please just no personal checks from anyone but you. :)

Second, our first booth will be this Wed. at the Norterra Farmer's market. There are still spots open if you would like to join us!

Remember your girl needs to "work" at least one booth slot to be a part of the split of the cookie booth sales. They will also get a patch. :)

Some rules for the cookie booths:

Click on image to enlarge, but general rules are:
1. No running or horseplay

2/8 Meeting and Cookie Money

Hello! This week we had a great meeting. The girls had a great snack...thank you Kayla! We talked about manners and we made signs for the cookie booths. We squeezed in a home-made valentine too :) We ran a little behind since we ended up having a 20 minute surprise talk on lice. Some girls were playing with each others hair while we were having our floor talk time and I explained with how bad 2nd grade has lice going around the things we should not be doing. (Sharing hats, clips, brushes, jackets, etc) So, if your girl starts to ask you to check their head for bugs, you will know why...haha. :) It really is going around bad right now. Our class has gotten lots of pink notes sent home, so it was a much needed talk. (Click on links to see photos or get more information...the girls were asking about what they looked like.)
On a happier note, they got a cooking patch if they went to Alexis' house for the Dizzy Whisk, a patch for the tea party we have last month and one to celebrate 100 years of girl scouts. These all go on the back of the vest.
Cookie sales
Hope you all have contacted Alyssa to get your cookies. Please make sure to collect money as soon as you can and give to me or Alyssa so we have enough money on Feb. 24th to allow council to debit half of the cookie money out. Last year they waited until the end of cookie sales, but this year they are splitting the payments, so please try to have your pre-sales money collected and turned in by February 20th.
Thank you!!
