A Minot fifth grader’s heart for children has earned her the Girl Scouts’ third-highest award.
Jade Fenner-Zaste will be receiving her Bronze Award in the spring of 2024 at the Honoring Excellence Council Recognition Event.
To achieve the award, Jade put 20 hours toward a project helping the community. Jade has done many things to help out Minot, but one thing that is very close to her heart is making tie blankets and baskets filled with things a foster child may need when entering a foster home.
Her mother, Lisa Fenner, has hosted foster children, so Jade has seen firsthand what children come into a foster home with, and it’s not much. Making the children feel safe in the home is what she sets out to do. She strives to be the best foster care sister she can, always involving the children in the activities she does. So far she has made 20 baskets.
“I like to help people that don’t have what I have and give them what they need,” Jade said.
