OPPORTUNITY FOR TEACHERS AND THOSE WORKING WITH STUDENTS

I owe a big "thank you" to Donna Morton of the Manchester Elementary School in Windham for putting together this flyer to encourage teachers to include Project Linus blankets in their school's programs.  For 10 years now, Donna's fourth grade class has been making 2 quilts each year.  The students get very involved and each have their own story to tell. 

This year, we have a separate category for students in the Studio Sale/Quilt Show on October 19.  It would be wonderful to have students and their programs represented.  I encourage you to contact either Donna or I for ideas.  I look forward to seeing you there.

Marden's Annual Blanket Day, Saturday, September 24, 2011

It's time again for Marden's Annual Blanket Day at all their retail stores that carry fabric. As you know, they are our major collection source of blankets through the year as this is one of their charitable projects.

I'll be in the Scarborough store, near the Maine Mall for all the fun from 10 to 3. Please come and join us for surprises and refreshments.

I hope to see you there.

Canal School Blanketeers of 2011 Win the First Prize for students

A group of Canal School 5th grade students have learned how to knit.  This spring they were able to take part in making an afghan that was donated to Project Linus for their exhibit in Scarborough a couple of weeks ago.  Theirs came in first place in the student category. 

Melodie Provost, the chapter coordinator for Cumberland County, visited the school to thank the students who donated the afghan to Project Linus.  She is also talked to the kids about Project Linus, answered questions, passed out certificates and treated them with ice cream bars.
