Girl Scout Senior Alexandra of Winfield recently earned her Gold Award with her project "Care for the Critters." The purpose of Alexandra's project was to reach out to the community, especially younger children, to teach them how to properly care for their animals. Her project was aimed at animal abuse and neglect, education and prevention. Alexandra's project was successful because she used fun, interactive techniques to engage children in learning about this topic. 15-year-old Alexandra attends Winfield City High School.
