Students in the Century Jr. High EarlyAct club made 14 blankets
for Project Linus. The mission of Project Linus is to provide love,
a sense of security, warmth and comfort to children who are
seriously ill, traumatized, or otherwise in need through the gifts
of new, handmade blankets and afghans created by volunteer
"blanketeers." The EarlyAct club is a service-oriented partnership
between the school and the Orland Park Rotary Club. Student Kristina
Linko notes, "I joined EarlyAct because I love to help the community
and it's a lot of fun. With the blanket project, we were able to
help kids and learn how to make blankets. It is a great thing to
do." |
