Who doesn't love to pay it forward in some way or another. This year when I heard that James 5th grade teacher likes to do service for others instead of just concerate some much on the candy part of it I jumped at the chance.
Since Primarys Childrens Hospital holds a special place in our lives I knew what I wanted to have his class do. Tie fleece blankets and donate them to the hospital. So away I ran with it. I was able to gather 26 peices of fleece. I was thinking that we would have to have a couple of family nights to just finish tying. No not this amazing class. They where able to get all 26 tied in less than an hour.
We have had an amazing expiernce with these blankets I can't believe the comfprt they give to patients at the hospital.
The basic of what they do with them at Primarys is they like to give the child something to ease there fears when they are there having tests. I have seen how this has worked and how these simple blankets can help even after the death of a loved one.
This is Paige telling us her experince that she had at the hospital and what a difference the blanket she recieved in calming her fears and anxiety.
The kids listening to Paige and the instructions on how to tie the blankets.
James and his amazing teacher that let us take up time in her day and do this amazing project.
This picture really makes me stop and think. It really makes me realize sick kids or not it should always be the child first and always. I am forever grateful that we as in my small little family has never needed to go to this hospital. I am extremely grateful to know that this hospital is so close so that if we ever do need to go I know the staff is dedicated and willing to help us.
This is my kids at the hospital dropping of the blankets. You are not allowed to go past a certain point but I was glad that I had a chance to take my kids up there to partake of this. I am so proud of them and there willingness to put others first.
