Farmington Girls Receive Gold Awards

Editor’s note: We published this story earlier in the week, but here it is again in case you missed it.

Two Farmington High School students have received Gold Awards, the highest honor in Girl Scouting, reports the Hartford Courant.

Natalie Gallo and Lauren Rossitto spent at least 80 hours on their projects to receive the award, which is the equivalent of a Boy Scouts’ Eagle Scout designation.

Gallo organized four meetings designed to interest younger girls in subjects related to science, technology, engineering, or mathematics.

Rossitto organized two math family game nights at West District Elementary School in Unionville.

The two girls were recently honored at a Town Council meeting.
