Girl Scouts Collect Supplies for Underprivileged Children

Do you have a favorite kindergarten memory?

In a flyer circulating at the local schools, that's what Girl Scouts Gabriella Thompson and Isabella Masciarelli are asking.

While many do have those wonderful memories, they are reminding other students that "some children don’t have those great experiences."

The scouts, from Troop 30484, are working on their Silver Award Project, which involves helping to give underprivileged children a good start to the new year.

Collection boxes placed at the four elementary schools in Northborough will a place to collect new school supplies, as well as gently used books, to support the needy children in Worcester. Those boxes will be in the lobby of the schools through Jan. 18.

"The girls are very thankful for the help of all the Northborough school principals," added Eva Thompson. "They have been very supportive of us throughout our project."
