Share A Story...
BEGINNINGS!
 What
IS Share a Story?
The national Kappa Delta Sorority
adopted Girl Scout Councils throughout the nation (www.kappadelta.org/Community/GirlScouts.htm).
GSSJC was the home of Joan Lowery Nixon, internationally acclaimed
author and member of the Kappa Delta Day Alumnae Group. This
group adopted GSSJC and developed the Share a Story program
with Nixon (Form F-131). The ‘how to’ guide Nixon
wrote just for GSSJC girls and the Share a Story Council Patch
Program will be on the Council Web site this fall and distributed
to troop leaders at the October event.
At this event girls will learn
how to make pop up cards, get inspired by talking to a real,
published author, and learn the craft of writing from a professional!
Girls earn this special
program patch when they:
* write and illustrate a children’s
book on a topic of their choice.
* read that book to a group of local children of their
choice.
* donate it to the Ben Taub Hospital library for child patients.
