Girl Scout Gold Award

Alexis Bartley (pictured), a senior at St. Agnes Academy, used her Gold Award project to give back to Ronald McDonald House Houston. She led educational seminars for the volunteers and staff and developed an online step-by-step video on how to create a refrigerator table (a small table used to hold mini-refrigerators that store medications, water, and more). In total, she donated 30 refrigerator tables to the Ronald McDonald House Houston and installed three charging stations. Alexis is passionate about helping families with medical needs and wanted to give back to RMH, as she and her family stayed at the Ronald McDonald House in Austin in 2016. A Girl Scout of 13 years, she has earned her Silver and Bronze Awards for other projects benefitting the community. Alexis plans to attend Texas A&M next year and major in neuroscience or nursing.
