Triton students are working on a project to “blanket the community in kindness” and they need your help!
According to Superintendent Jeremy Riffle, students in grades 7 through 12 spent time last week creating 30 fleece tie-blankets with materials donated from Delta Theta Tau of Plymouth. Those blankets will be donated to St. Joseph Regional Hospital in Plymouth where one will be gifted to families with a newborn baby. For standard baby blanket size, and other such information, people can check it out here!
Students are looking to extend the project to local nursing homes. Superintendent Riffle shared that the Bourbon nursing home indicated that they had plenty of blankets at the moment so they will be providing them to ones outside the community including the memory units of Miller’s Merry Manor and Pilgrims Manor in Plymouth.
In a video made to promote the project, students recommend assisting with this heart-warming endeavor by making monetary donations, supplying materials or donating gift cards to fabric stores.
Superintendent Riffle mentioned that members of Triton’s staff who led the students as they worked on the first blankets last week included Sarrah Davis, Michelle Waymouth and Rick Collins as well as Marion Ebersole, Nancy Nordman and Cheryl Fuchs.
