ICS Girl Scout Receives Silver Award

Grace Heiple (8th) has been a Girl Scout for seven years. This past year she has been working diligently on receiving her Silver Award with three other girls from her troop in Atlanta, Georgia. Together the team created nine different birdhouses out of recycled materials and presented them as a bird sanctuary to one of Atlanta's local art parks. Each birdhouse portrayed a different theme, all inspired by the imagination of the team.

The sanctuary was installed three weeks ago and in early November, Grace flew to Atlanta with her family to present a plaque to the sanctuary's community and to receive her Silver Award. This massive project involved a lot of hard work, networking, creativity, teamwork, and perseverance. Congrats, Grace! Your ICS community is beyond proud of you!

I can try to control the process, take the bull by the horns, and act like I can muscle (which really is more like stumbling) through it, or I can speak what is true; and the truth is that I, as a parent, am much more effective when I am found humbly at the feet of Jesus.
