When Hannah Heilman, a junior at Greenwood Community High School, was pursuing a project idea to earn the coveted and highest award in Girl Scouts, she decided to make scrapbooks for dementia and Alzheimer’s patients at Greenwood Village South. She presented the residents with their scrapbooks in February. She spent nearly 150 hours piecing together the books for 15 residents and put in extra pages for them and their families to fill in their own memories.

Family members provided written descriptions of memorable things they had done, such as taking vacations, favorite hobbies and favorite foods. Hannah Heilman, a junior at Greenwood Community High School, goes over the scrapbook she made with Rose Martlage-Henneke, a
