Mrs. Hite's third grade class here at Temperance Road Elementary really learned what the character trait "caring" is all about during the month of December as they made blankets for the American Red Cross. Laura Schultz, a director with the American Red Cross receives blankets from students in Mrs. Hite's class. The blankets were bought with a grant from the academic servicing learning fund. The class then spent three separate days for about 30 minutes cutting out the blankets. The students then created cards that were sent out to donors as a thank you for donation of money or life saving blood. The students brainstormed well wishes for the inside of the cards. Once the cards and blankets were finished The Red Cross members then came into the classroom to accept the donations and speak with the class about what they do and who the blankets will affect. (Most of them are given out during house fires to children)
