SUBJ: Girl Scout Gold Award BACKGROUND The Girl Scout Gold Award is the highest honor that a Girl Scout may earn. This year, 128 girls from the Girl Scouts of Minnesota and Wisconsin River Valleys received their Gold Award. One of the recipients is Katherine (Katie) Pernula, a Chanhassen resident. To earn the Gold Award, the eligible Girl Scout in grades 10-12 must fulfill requirements related to leadership, career exploration, and community service. Each girl must spend at least 65 hours planning and implementing her project, which will assess a need in the community and develops innovative ways to address it, and she must work to put her plan into action. For her project, Katie created a Bluff Creek Elementary Orientation Video. The documentary video, in both English and Spanish, features school policies and procedures, the English Language Learners program, and a virtual tour of the school. The video will be used to make new families and Spanish-speaking families more comfortable with the staff and school. Katie Pernula will be presented with a certificate of recognition at the City Council meeting. Chanhassen is a Community for Life - Providing for Today and Planning for Tomorrow
