AMANDA SMITH
Manchester, CT

Amanda's Gold Award project contained two components. The first portion of her project was teaching 1st graders at St. James School how to be responsible pet owners in hopes of reducing the number of abandoned animals. The second portion of her project was to beautify the Town of Manchester Animal Pound and construct a cover that would create a shady place for the animals. Amanda plans to attend Eastern Connecticut State University and major in Early Elementary Education.
