The Interboro School District Board of School Directors recognized student Brianna Califano at its Dec. 3 meeting for earning the Girl Scout Gold Award and for developing pollinator gardens used to teach elementary students about native plants and pollinators.
Missus Riley presented the award on behalf of the board and administration, noting that Califano had earlier completed Bronze and Silver awards and that her Gold Award project included creating and documenting pollinator gardens at Glenolden Barrow and within Interboro schools. The presenter said Califano provided resources — seeds, garden locations and a website — that teachers can use for classroom instruction and that the district will post a link to her site on the district website.
Board members presented flowers and a certificate and encouraged community members to visit the gardens and to connect with her via the shared website. The student said she has not yet decided on post-graduation plans. The board thanked her and noted she will wear awards as part of her graduation recognition.
The recognition was brief and ceremonial; no board action was required.
