Class Shows Real Compassion To Help Girl Scout Given Phony Money
Isabella Conger, a student at Orangethorpe Elementary School, had an unfortunate experience selling the popular baked goods.
“Her and her mom had gone to the bank to turn in her money for Girl Scout cookies and unfortunately, one of the $100 bills was counterfeit. The bank told her they would be responsible for paying for all the money,” said teacher Nancy Karcher.
