Wright students pay it forward with baby hats

Wright Junior Senior School seniors and Family, Career and Community Leaders of America (FCCLA) members Shawna Banks and Cynthia Reyes learned how to knit and crochet in their Family Consumer Science class, and decided to turn their lesson into a way to pay it forward.

They coordinated with fellow students and handmade hats for preemie and newborn babies born at Campbell County Memorial Hospital (CCMH). CCMH Maternal Child Nurses Lindsey and Steffany and Gillette College nursing student Shawn were excited for the hats.

“Parents love getting these cute handmade hats for their babies and we like to give them away,” was Steffany’s response when the girls carried in two totes full of hats.

Let’s give these Wright High School students a great big round of applause for their generosity!
