Donate A Quilt

Students in the Kindergarten class used ripped and slightly worn clothing to make quilts to donate to Project Linus. This is a non-profit organization that matches donors to those in need such as sick children, convalescents, and the elderly, and the organizations that help them. Along with learning the duty of helping others, the students learned to look around their homes to help reduce the waste put into the landfill by making the quilts out of old discarded clothing. Students realized that some items that are regularly thrown away could be used to make something that someone will treasure. Students even had a chance to write and draw about their experiences.
