Caring for Patients

What a wide and wonderful array of projects! The idea behind "Caring for Patients" was to have students in grades 9-12 buy, purchase and prepare gift bags for hospitalized patients. Each student is preparing 3 gift bags with a variety of cheering items for the patients. Most important, each bag will have 3 note cards in it and the students will assist the patients in preparing thank you notes for the staff and others who have been particularly helpful in their stays. Each one of those thank you notes will also contain a business card made out in the patients name and asking the recipient of the notes to please 'pay it forward' to three more people who have helped them or been particularly kind in some way. The hospital is not a fun place to be but, hopefully, the students work will brighten the day, not only for the patients but everyone who receives and passes along kindnesses
