Girl scout works toward Gold Award

Junior Sarah Raymond has been a girl scout for 11 years. She is working towards her gold award, the most esteemed award for girl scouts.

“My project is to encourage middle school kids to participate in physical activities and keep and active lifestyle,” Raymond said. She went to Longfellow Middle School and did activities showing the students how to stay healthy and make goals to stay active.

For the summer they were able to blog on her website and every post they made, their name got put into a raffle for the prize of a $25.00 gift card to Sports Authority.

Raymond has made a website called funfitnessforever.org, where she posts about living a healthy lifestyle through eating and healthy foods such as fruits and vegetables and exercising.
