Girl Scout Gold Award Project: Restoring a School Garden & Pond

Hello Parish Family,
My name is Audrey Dominguez, and I am a Girl Scout Ambassador currently working toward earning my Girl Scout Gold Award, the highest honor in Girl Scouting. For my project, I am restoring a neglected pond and creating a garden at Felix Varela Senior High School.

This project will provide students and staff with a peaceful outdoor space where they can learn, reflect, and connect with nature. The garden will also serve as an educational resource promoting environmental awareness and supporting mental well-being.

To bring this project to life, I am organizing several fundraisers to help cover the costs of plants, flowers, seating, signage, and fish.

I would greatly appreciate your support, whether by contributing to the fundraiser, donating online, spreading the word, or keeping this project in your prayers. Every contribution, big or small, makes a meaningful difference.

I will be hosting a bake sale after next week’s masses, and I would love you to stop by and support!

You can also support this project by donating through my GoFundMe page:gofund.me/fbf725e85

If you would like more information or are interested in donating or volunteering, please feel free to contact me at audreydomgz@gmail.com.

Thank you for helping make this project a reality and creating something lasting for our community.

Sincerely,

Audrey Dominguez
