RCS
students donate their own creations to Children’s Hospital
patients
Creative Writing students
penned and illustrated the children’s books.
A group of RCS Creative Writing
Class students travelled to Albany Medical Center’s Children’s
Hospital on Wednesday to donate more than two dozen children’s
books that they wrote and illustrated.
The books – with titles that
range from Freddy the Ever Ready Squirrel to
Oh, What Could It Be
and The Boy Who Lost His Shoe – were created by the
students during a five-week project earlier this year.
The students in Gloria Foley’s
class said the project taught them
important lessons about life.
“I learned that it’s important
to contribute to the community in some way,” said senior Brian
Paeglow.
Foley and art teacher Binnie
Chriss said the project was important in that it combined
English and artistic skills with a lesson in civic
responsibility.
The High School Natural Helper's Club, which Foley advises,
is planning to collect this spring new, commercially created
children's books, that will likewise be donated to the hospital,
Foley said.
