At the April 8 meeting, Maddie Guy, a senior at Verrado High School and a dedicated member of the Buckeye Youth Council, presented her impactful Youth Council Project. Maddie worked tirelessly to bring comfort and gratitude to deployed military members through her thoughtful initiative. Her project focused on gathering food and gifts to be sent to service members abroad, ensuring they feel appreciated and supported while away from home. Collaborating directly with the Blue Star Mothers group, Maddie organized and participated in several activities that made her project a success: - Attending a memorial service commemorating veterans to gain deeper insight into their needs. - Partnering with organizations such as the Veterans of Foreign Wars (VFW) and Blue Star Moms. - Packing boxes filled with essential items and heartfelt gifts for troops. - Raising funds through donations to cover mailing costs. - Hosting a lively packing party to bring the community together for the cause. The presentation was well received and the ub very impressed with Maddie's initiative and pla planning. Well done! |
