The city of Milwaukee has shown incredible support, with many organizations coming forth to show their encouragement and genuine care for our children by forming partnerships with Milwaukee Parkside. These partnerships contribute to the well-rounded education that Milwaukee Parkside students receive and help them gain new perspectives.<\/p>\n

Girl Scouts<\/h2>\n

In\u00a0Girl Scouts<\/a>, girls discover the fun, friendship, and power of girls together. Through a myriad of enriching experiences, such as extraordinary field trips, sports skill-building clinics, community service projects, cultural exchanges, and environmental stewardship, girls grow courageous and strong. Girl Scouting helps girls develop their full individual potential; relate to others with increasing understanding, skill, and respect; develop values to guide their actions and provide the foundation for sound decision-making; and contribute to the improvement of society through their abilities, leadership skills, and cooperation with others.\u00a0Our troop is part of the\u00a0Girl Scouts of Wisconsin – Southeast<\/a>.<\/p>\n
