A community project by Tauna La Bare’s self-contained special education proved to be a success.
For the project, the class made pillows. Through some investigation and getting in touch with Tri-Town Hospital in Sidney, the class learned there were 12 patients going through chemotherapy at the time. With 12 students in La Bare’s class at the time, it seemed like the perfect fit.
The project, which the class called “Pillows for Patients,” was one where the students cut the material, sewed on sewing machines with minimal assistance, and stuffed the pillows on their own.
The class decided on fabric colors of camouflage (to encourage the patients’ fight), hearts (to know somebody cares for them), starry sky (to encourage peace and calming), and flames (to help with a fighting spirit).
The students took a walk on May 29 to the hospital to hand deliver the pillows.
