blankets in a pile in front of oishei children's hospital sign

On Thursday, October 3, 2024 the entire seventh grade class participated in Team Building Day. The Make-a-Blanket activity was the community service component added to the day.

Twenty-nine no-sew blankets were donated to Oishei Children’s Hospital’s Child Life Department. The seventh graders were excited and proud to be part of this project that will help other children have a blanket of their own that will help them feel safe and warm.

The blankets were donated and the day was organized by seventh grade co-advisors Mrs. Theresa Mercuri and Mrs. Kathleen Ward, and made possible because of the committed faculty and staff at DMS.
