Garden City High School students make handmade cards for Cards for Hospitalized Kids

Garden City high school students spread holiday cheer by creating and sending cards for hospitalized children across the country through the nonprofit organization, Cards for Hospitalized Kids. A station in the library was created for students to visit and make these cards during the school day, and students used this area to write heartfelt messages and draw pictures on handmade cards for children in hospitals during this holiday season.

Clubs and world language classes throughout the building participated in this initiative, ensuring that hospitalized children received cards for the holidays in their native language. These classes also take part in this activity during other holidays such as Halloween, Thanksgiving and Valentine’s Day, spreading joy year-round to children across the country.

Garden City’s participation in the Cards for Hospitalized Kids initiative was led by school librarian Margaux Calemmo, who sent the cards to the organization in the middle of December, ensuring they arrived before the holiday season.

Garden City students positively impacted the lives of children nationwide through their acts of kindness during the holiday season.
