We sold out of all our homemade "Frontier Pies" at the Chelsea Expo last weekend! They were a big hit! If you missed it save your calories for next year, we'll be back with more! We also made some great connections in our community too, thank you to everyone who bought a pie and who we talked with, and thanks to Chelsea Senior Center for organizing!

The Americanism Essay Contest is sponsored annually by the American Legion Auxiliary and allows students to develop their thoughts and knowledge on what being an American signifies. The process of writing the essay enables students to explore the various facets of Americanism and patriotism. Students examine the rights and freedoms given to citizens through the struggles and sacrifices of our citizens provided in the United States Constitution and why flag history and etiquette acknowledge those who served and are still serving our country to maintain our freedoms.

Today is "March Forth" day in Frontier Girls! On March 4th, 1789 the Confederation Congress handed off power to the new constitutional government, so this was a big day for the USA marching forth into a brand new inspired system of government, and it is still a big day for us Frontier Girls as we celebrate and remember, marching forth in our communities all across the country. This year our troop marched forth into the woods on Saturday to learn about making maple syrup, hands-on, after we learned about this important day and did work on the natural wonders badge! God be thanked for The United States Constitution! For more info on March 4th, see the National Constitution Center info page at https://constitutioncenter.org/blog/march-4-a-forgotten-huge-day-in-american-politics-2 #:~:text=The%20significance%20of%20March%204th,first%20official%20day%20in%20business.
