My Students

My students are working to make fleece blankets and tote bags for patients receiving radiation treatment. This project is for them to learn more about cancer treatment and how they can serve their community.

The enrichment academy is 10 -15 fourth and fifth graders working on a project for the community.

They will make blankets for the patients. They will learn how to work as a team. Our school is low income and the students are unable to supply any of the items.

My Project

They are going to make tote bags for the fleece blankets to go to radiation patients. The students will plan their group and decide how to organize the work and how to distribute the work. There will be a guest speaker from the Georgia Radiation Center to talk about cancer treatment and to answer questions from the students. The students will facilitate the activity and take responsibility for the work.

The project will make a difference for men and women suffering with cancer to make them feel warm and special to us.

Many people recognize breast awareness week which is a wonderful cause. We are going to focus on all types of cancers and the people who receive radiation treatment at the Georgia Radiation Center here in Augusta Georgia. We want them to know we care about them at Grovetown Elementary.
