Area students deliver warmth with Blankets of Hope
Thirteen classrooms at Farmin-Stidwell Elementary School participated in Blankets of Hope, a project that creates opportunities for students to give to those in need.
SANDPOINT — Nearly 250 blankets, complete with handwritten notes from students in 13 classrooms at Farmin-Stidwell Elementary, will be dispersed to those in need this season as part of “Blankets of Hope.”
Blankets of Hope is an educational non-profit organization that was launched by two brothers in Brooklyn who quit their day jobs to create an organization that partners with schools to educate students while encouraging the community. Through a lesson prepared by the organization, students watch a video, write letters and color pictures, and attach the notes to the blankets.
Renee Lorden, fourth grade teacher at Farmin Stidwell, said this was the school’s third year participating in the project.
