Join us as we congratulate the 2006 Lakeview Legacy Award Recipients
Miss Kelsey Weisensel
High School Senior Legacy Award
Kelsey lives the Girl Scout Law: “On my honor…to serve…” others, and she lives out the 4-H theme for leadership using her head, hands, heart, and health.
Kelsey, a senior at Rosemount High School, received the Girl Scout Gold Award for her project, ”Care Caps for Courageous Kids.” Her team collected over 300 knit caps and donated them to cancer patients at Children’s Hospital and the Virginia Piper Cancer Institute.
Kelsey served as a delegate at the 50th National Girl Scout Convention.
She led the effort to increase team participation in the Rosemount Relay for Life culminating in a 375% increase in donations to the event over a three-year period.
By the time Kelsey graduates from high school, she will have accumulated over 300 volunteer hours at “The Birth Place” at Fairview Ridges Hospital.
She is looking at Drake University in Iowa or Butler University in Indianapolis in her plan to pursue a doctorate degree in pharmacy.
