SEW FUN

For Amanda's 8th grade community service project and GATE project, she hosted a mother-daugther sewing class to make blankets for the local hospital's maternity ward. The mothers and daughters worked together to sew receiving blankets and baby quilts. The blankets were then bundled with a newborn outfit, nighty, hat, and socks. These 'layette' kits were then delivered to the Oakdale hospital to be given to needy families.

Amanda did a great job organizing and hosting the 'Sew Fun' event. It inspired the other families to look for similar opportunities to use their developing talents to give back to the community.
