Shelby Colson sold a total of 1,105 boxes of cookies to be the top seller in all of Chandler, and was inducted into the Arizona Cactus-Pine Girl Scout Council prestigious “1,000 Club.” It’s the second year she has sold more than 1,000 boxes.
Sheridan Gloyd and Hope Flynn sold more than 500 boxes and Hope O’Brien sold in excess of 300 boxes.

As a result of their efforts, they were recognized at a recent Chandler City Council meeting and had their photo taken with Chandler Mayor Jay Tibshraeny. “The troop is only four girls, but with big hearts,” says Loretta G. Colson, who submitted the information. “All the girls were outstanding!”
Colson adds the troop also volunteers at the Chandler Senior Center, helped distribute water safety door hangers for the Chandler Fire Department, collected canned goods for the needy and helped Chandler Recreation’s “Sewing for Survivors” project.

Cronkite hosts high school summer journalism institutes
Thirty-eight high school students are learning digital and broadcast news skills this summer at the Walter Cronkite School of Journalism and Mass Communication at Arizona State University. Entravision Communications Corp. is the new sponsor of the Entravision Summer Digital Media Institute, while the Arizona Broadcasters Association and the Scripps Howard Foundation are the longtime supporters of the Summer High School Broadcast Institute.
The students, many from underrepresented communities, live on campus and attend sessions through June 30 at the Cronkite School on ASU’s Downtown Phoenix campus. They receive full scholarships to cover housing, meals and training. The 20 digital students will attend class sessions taught by Cronkite faculty on writing, reporting and
multi-platform journalism. They also will tour local media outlets and produce an online news website. The Summer High School Broadcast Institute at Cronkite is funded by the Arizona Broadcasters Association and the Scripps Howard Foundation. The 18 students will take classes in writing, reporting, videography and editing, meet with broadcast professionals, visit leading Phoenix-area media outlets and anchor, write, produce and direct their own newscasts.
Arizona Broadcasters Association, a longtime sponsor of the program, recently renewed its commitment for three additional years. The institutes are directed by Anita Luera, the Cronkite School’s director of high school programs and past president of the Arizona Latino Media Association.
“Students participating in our high school summer digital and broadcast journalism institutes have the opportunity to learn from professionals, faculty and staff and use the tools of a new and changing world of journalism,” Luera said. “Learning in action – the experience doesn’t get any better than that.” In addition to the high school institutes, from June 12 to 24, the Cronkite School will host the Reynolds High School Journalism Institute, which provides professional development to high school journalism teachers. The Reynolds institute was created by the Donald W. Reynolds Foundation and is operated by the American Society of News Editors.
