Thank you to the 5th grade committee members Dafna Tarlowe, Michelle Lyman and Sandy McNees for a fantastic and super successful 5th grade service project!

On March 15th, the 5th grade students made fleece blankets and attached a handwritten personal note. These blankets will be donated to Project Linus for distribution to children who are seriously ill, traumatized or otherwise in need. These blankets provide love, a sense of security, warmth and comfort.

The funds left over after purchasing fleece fabric and supplies, will be donated to Eastside Baby Corner.
