On June 20, 2024 we had a tragedy strike our community. We lost one of our beloved Kindergarteners Mikey Volpe and his mother Molly Donovan in an accident outside of our school MAS. This shocked and impacted our community immensely. A few of our Daisies in our service unit shared the classroom with Mikey and everyone was deeply affected by this. 
 
At the time of the accident, many families in our GS community reached out to offer help in anyway they could. The family of Mikey and Molly made it very clear they did NOT want monetary donations to be collected for them, so a few GS parents at MAS came up with the idea of creating a bench in their honor that would be placed outside of the school. Molly used to wait for Mikey every day on the current benches outside of MAS, so we thought what better way to honor them than a dedicated bench in that very spot.
 
It has taken quite a few months of planning for this project to come to fruition, but with the permission of the family, our principle, and the help of our art teacher Mrs Yizar, our bench is on its way!! We are expecting it to arrive late December early January at which time Mrs Yizar will paint a beautiful mural on the bench that will highlight Mikey’s love for the game monsters. We expect a reveal shortly thereafter. We will notify everyone as soon as we have that information. 
 
What we are kindly asking, of our Girl Scout community, is help with donations to pay for the cost, painting, and installation of the bench. The total cost of the project is $2700. If you would like to be a part of this and donate to this memorial please click donate below to make a secure donation. 
 
No donation is too small and we sincerely appreciate all of your help and kindness! 
 
Please help us make this a beautiful memorial for Mikey and Molly. 
 
The design for the bench is in the flyer below. We hope you all love it as much as we do. 
 
Sincerely Jill Torres, Jennifer Aguis, and Natalie Gialluca
