Pride Supports 8th Grade Teachers and Students who celebrate “Heroes of the Heart”
Students at the Bridgewater Raritan Middle School learned what it means to give back to the community through a celebration of everyday heroes. Kym Weissburger, an 8th grade Language Arts Teacher and Toni Petraglia, an 8th grade Special Education teacher created a hands on project to support a unit of study on everyday heroes. The project started with the students reading articles aimed at helping them develop a working definition of a hero. After reading and discussion, the students had the difficult task of choosing every day heroes from the local community to honor. After some deliberation, students chose the Lyons Hospital so that they could honor the veterans from our local community.
In order to show their appreciation for the every day heroes at the Lyons Hospitals, students collected and assembled gift baskets that included t-shirts, shorts, socks, crossword puzzles and personal hygiene projects. In total, students were able to create 16 large gift baskets for the men and women at Lyons Hospital. PRIDE was excited to support this project by donating the baskets that were used in the assembly of the gifts and also food for celebration.
