Pillow talk….

Brightening things up at the hospital: Sierra Dawson (left), Desi Whalen and Rachael Hay are ready to deliver the goods.
There were some pretty awesome community projects at the high school this year – it’s all part of what makes living here so cool. One of the projects caught my eye…making pillowcases.
Three FHHS juniors got the idea that making colorful, cheerful pillowcases would brighten up things at Mary Bridge Children’s Hospital in Tacoma. Sierra, Rachael, and Desi learned how to sew starting from scratch (with mentors Kay Kohler & Sharon Maya working with them), and set out to make as many pillow covers as they could, with materials paid for the school’s Gates Grant (which they had to apply for). At the end, they had made 72 individual & unique pieces, which they were folding up to deliver to the hospital a couple of days ago.
Cool project, and you can bet the kids at the hospital will dig the colors. Way to go, girls!
