Girl Up Power Pink T-Shirts Solidify Club Spirit

Girl Up at Manatee Middle School empowers girls globally and helps shape the members into strong female role models. The first meeting of 2022 consisted of the club members making matching t-shirts that promote their goal and mission. Through a generous donation by Timothy Burfield, of Marco Island and the Burfield Foundation, the club was able to fund the t-shirts. Janet Brooks, a member of the Daughters of the American Revolution Marco Island Chapter, joined Girl Up to assist with the designing, creating, and applying the logo on the shirts. Each girl was able to iron her nickname on the back of the t-shirt. The matching t-shirts will be worn on an upcoming college visit to the University of Miami. The girls are eager to wear their t-shirts that share their purpose.
