Fall 2005 Quilts for AAMC NICU BabiesCentral Middle School Sixth Graders Make Quilts for AAMC NICU Babies
Fifty-three sixth-graders at Central Middle School in Annapolis spent four months on a unique school service project. And Anne Arundel Medical Center’s Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU) was the recipient. The students presented 19 hand-made quilts to Carol Lacher, R.N., nurse manager of the NICU, in early June. “There are not enough words to say thank you,” said Ms. Lacher. “This is one of the most important pieces families will get because it shows love and the hard work from a great group of students.” The project was masterminded by sixth grade teacher, Erin Szachnowicz, whose daughter and nephew had each spent time in the NICU, as had a child of a fellow teacher, Shannon Krieger. Ms. Szachnowicz said, “With these quilts, the students took such pride in trying to make them perfect, and they really seemed to make a connection with the project, knowing that the quilts were going to real families and real babies.” |
