Brownie Blessings
Rye Brownie Troop 1601 continues to give back to the community. The girls, all second graders at Osborn Elementary, chose to donate a portion of the proceeds from their cookie sales last year to help three local sites.

The girls learned about the habitats of different animals and the effects of severe weather on those that live in our community. They enjoyed petting the chinchilla, guinea pig, rabbit, and dove, and observing the feeding habits of turtles, frogs, and toads.
Next month the Troop will visit the Carver Center.
