We are excited to share that our son, Ricky F. ('24), has earned the rank of Eagle Scout, the highest honor in Scouting America. While in Cub Scouts Pack 556, San Leandro and Troop 998, Pleasanton he has earned 38 merit badges, camped more than 100 nights, and developed leadership skills while serving his troop, patrol, school, parish, and broader community.For his Eagle Project, Rick built two potting storage work benches for Assumption School’s Sustainable Classroom and installed signage throughout the learning garden and animal enclosures. The benches were designed and modified for different age groups, and he raised $2,155 for materials and received additional in-kind gifts from local businesses. He led 35 volunteers who contributed a combined 239 hours of service. We have been proud to support and watch him grow through this experience.
We recognize it has taken the support and guidance from family, teachers, mentors and community to help Ricky achieve this major milestone. Thank you for your part in his journey.
