Recently the Westminster College elementary education majors purchased fleece blankets for the Jameson Hospital Dialysis Center.
The elementary Education Junior Block classes are required to dress professionally for classes, and paid for the privilege of dressing casually on Fridays.
"Each week the students of the elementary education junior block paid 50 cents for the privilege of dressing down on Fridays, and collected pop can tabs which were turned in to the recycling center for cash. The students of the fall and spring semesters collected $146," said Dr. Amy Camardese, assistant professor of education and coordinator of this project. "Dr. Patrick Krantz suggested the purchase of the blankets because dialysis patients are often cold during treatment. We were pleased that the purchase of the blankets also benefited Alpha Phi Omega fraternity, who sold the blankets to purchase medical supplies for Haiti."
