Blankets Provide Hope and Courage

The annual Lower School Hope and Courage chapel, held Friday, November 18, was the culmination of a third grade project that began with the summer reading assignment, The Shoeshine Girl by Clyde Robert Bulla. Like the girl in the story, the third grade held a shoeshine stand to raise money to buy the fleece material for their Blankets of Hope. During the chapel, students reflected on hope and courage and presented the 40 hand-tied blankets to the Red Devils, an organization that provides support to breast cancer patients. See more here.
