More LV Girl Scouts in the News!

If you were wondering where the new puppet theater at the public library came from...

Washington Township Junior Girl Scout Troop 1231 presented three funny and engaging puppet shows for young children at the Washington Township Public Library on Wednesday, May 29^th.  In order to earn their Bronze Award, the six young ladies – Emily Wu, Lizzie Lyzenga, Madison Kalmus, Mia Herring, Kaitlyn Gleason and Katie Van Woert and their leader, Christina Van Woert - earned money to purchase and donate a puppet theater to the Children’s Section of the public library under the direction of Children’s Librarian Maria Birch.  The girls then wrote and performed three puppet shows called Animal Idol, A Cow Jumped Over the Moon, and The Thanksgiving Chicken.  Over twenty people were in attendance and the show led to many laughs from the children in audience.  They thoroughly enjoyed it!  Children’s Librarian, Maria Birch thanked the girls and said that “It was really a lot of fun and the kids started with the theater right away!  It's beautiful - we really appreciate it.”
