Blankets Give Hope to Sick, Injured

The Lower School’s Blankets of Hope Chapel on Friday, November 13, led by the third grade, was an opportunity for the community to share love, support, and encouragement for the sick and injured. Using the money earned at their shoeshine stand, the third grade bought fleece and made 40 “blankets of hope” to donate to the Red Devils, an organization that supports breast cancer patients. This year, the students made an extra camouflage fleece blanket for McDonogh junior Archer Senft who is recovering from a spinal cord injury suffered in August. Archer’s sister, Paula, was on hand to receive the blanket and a book of poems the third graders wrote for him. Watch the Blankets of Hope Chapel here.
