Brownie Scout Troop 6891 helps displaced hurricane victims(0)

November 13, 2008

Brownie Scout Troop 6891 is learning more than how to sell peanuts and cookies. While collecting clothes, toys and other items for those displaced by Hurricane Ike, they’ve been learning about community service and compassion.

The troop has 18 Brownie Scouts who meet each Monday at North Ridge Elementary School. The Scouts put collection boxes up in the front of the school, and worked to pick up the donated items and sort and pack them into boxes.

Barbara McCrummen dubbed ‘The Cookie Lady’

Barbara McCrummen may have no idea how or when she received her nickname, but she does ­­enjoy being known as the Cookie Lady of Frenship High School.

As a teacher in the Frenship Independent School District for 28 years, McCrummen has seen many changes.

Kreger anchors the Harvest Festival

Shawndelle Kreger spends a lot of time on her feet as the owner of a hair salon, Kuts & Kurls, as well as while running to stay in shape. Her love of running inspired her to take over the Fun Run and to help add an adult version of the race during this year’s Harvest Festival.

The Fun Run is a one-mile run for elementary school-aged children, but Kreger said many parents end up running with their children in the jog around Patterson Park in Wolfforth. So an adult five-kilometer run was added to the Harvest Festival schedule of events to accommodate runners who are older than elementary school students.

Judge manages family, volunteering and career

Coordinating the schedules of three children in three different Frenship schools, managing a busy volunteer schedule and taking up public speaking engagements could be a full-time position.

Add to that a career of being a newly appointed judge in County Court-at-Law No. 3, and one might wonder how Judge Judy Parker does it all.
