(Hoboken, NJ—November 17, 2017) Alison Fung,
a High Tech freshman and Hoboken resident in the school’s D|Fab academy, and
her Girl Scout team received the Scouts’ Silver Award for their Take Action
Project, “Girls Changing the Community,” announced Dr. Joseph Giammarella,
Principal of High Tech High School.
Girl Scouts earn the Silver Award by focusing
on an issue they care about, as well as building a team, exploring their
community, picking, planning, and putting their Take Action project into action. Take Action Projects improve Girl Scouts’
neighborhoods or communities. Also, they
must demonstrate an understanding of sustainability in the wider world and share
what they have learned with others.
