Southwestern Classical Academy

We are incredibly proud of our Girl Scouts and Ms. Phinisee for their amazing opportunity to be interviewed on Good Morning America and ABC 12 yesterday! Their hard work and dedication to making a difference in our school and community is truly inspiring. During their interview, they highlighted three impactful initiatives: 🌟 Anti-Bullying Campaign – Educating students in classrooms, planning awareness posters for the building, and working toward bringing guest speakers to our school. 🍪 Giving Back Through Fundraising – Using cookie profits to sell candy grams, decorating teachers' classroom doors, and donating proceeds to St. Jude’s Children’s Hospital. 🎖️ Supporting Soldiers Through Troops-to-Troops – Encouraging customers to purchase cookies for soldiers overseas through the Soldier’s Angels program. What an incredible achievement! Congratulations again to our Girl Scouts and their amazing leaders for their commitment to service and leadership! 🎉👏 Ellen was featured on Good morning American and ABC12! https://www.abc12.com/ #Southwestern #FCS #GirlScouts #Leadership #MakingADifference
