Excelsior Students Make Blankets For a Good Cause

During the month of December, OCM students from nine different Excelsior Middle School classes worked on tie blankets to be donated to babies at local hospitals. In total, the students created 66 blankets!

According to Candice Mullinex, a 7th grade language arts teacher at Excelsior, “This has been a wonderful service opportunity for our students.” She went on to state that due to the tremendous outpouring of support for this act of giving, “we will be doing this service project again next year and encourage others to join us.” If you’d be interested, please contact Mrs. Mullnix at cmullnix@linnmar.k12.ia.us.

Thank you to all students and staff who took part in this wonderful cause and for helping making a difference!
