I first met Sarah Mester as she entered my office with a big idea about re-doing our school garden. Her vision and enthusiasm were backed with a drive that was admirable. She’d stop by to share the 3-D printed caps she’d created with Mr. Kelley in the lab and we’d discuss what support she needed to make her project a reality. She didn’t need much from us! Her garden shaped up quickly and thrived beautifully as you can see in the pictures on this page. The entire project was not only a benefit to Kehillah but in no small way a part of her dedication to scouting.

This week The Daily Journal took a moment to highlight Sarah and a handful of other remarkable teens, that found The Boy Scouts of America to be a place where their interests could be explored and celebrated. We are so proud of Sarah and the pioneering she’s done. Check out the full article linked below. Kol Hakavod, Sarah!
