Silver Award Hitting the Small Silver Screen
Posted by admin under: recognition .
The Girl Scouts blog has the story about two girls who worked on an anti-bullying campaign at their school for their silver award. This reminds me of the Girl Scout program launched in partnership with Microsoftfor online awareness for girls which included an anti-bullying aspect. The program Maddie Rayner and Alena Buczynski put together at Marshall Middle School has received a lot of attention including, now, the children’s programming-oriented station Nickelodeon. Now that’s recognition for your project!
About 100 kids were involved in shooting a Nick News special on Wednesday at Marshall Middle School, said school counselor Sally Nelson. Nelson coordinated the filming for students and staff.

Best friends Maddie Rayner and Alena Buczynski organized an anti-bullying week at their school last month as a way to earn their Silver Award for the Girl Scouts. The week focused on Massachusetts bullying victim Phoebe Prince, who killed herself after weeks of being targeted at her school.

There is no planned premier date for the special yet, Poulos said, but it should appear on the channel this fall.
It’s not often that your award project gets the notice of a national media focused on just your peer group. I’m glad they’ll be able to remember this as a great moment in their lives and how they positively affected the lives of others.
