Cards for Roswell Project Has Personal Meaning for Organizer

For two days before the Thanksgiving holiday, a table in the high school library was turned into a crafting table for students to create hand-drawn cards for patients at Roswell Park Cancer Institute. Students were able to come into the library and make a card using stamps, markers and crayons. There were suggested messages to write in case anyone had writer's block.

The project was organized by Hannah Kate McFadden, a junior, who is taking Civics in Action where students are developing Do Good projects each month as part of the class. Hannah has a personal connection and interest in the project because her mom is hospitalized in Roswell.

She got the word out at school through morning announcements, the Tiger Times online newsletter and signs and posters throughout the building. She plans to take the cards to the hospital where staff will distribute them to patients.
