Marrs Makers - Making!
Ann Wilder - Empowering students and raising a new generation of do-gooders.
Ann says, "Children are our future. Sometimes when a loved one gets cancer, kids( and families) feel hopeless. There are ways a person can support them and make a difference. Mrs. Wilder's 2nd grade students wanted to give back and participate in a classroom of learning. They have completed a sewing project making "Port Pillows" for those going through chemo. These "pillows" protect he port site where chemo is delivered in to their bodies and their seatbelt. "My mother-in-law is a volunteer as a Chemo Buddy. Making these pillows will put a smile on many faces."
