The Jonathan Alder High School chapter of National Honor Society (NHS) makes blankets every year to donate to Nationwide Children’s Hospital for the past several years. NHS members of Jonathan Alder High School gathered after school on Friday, January 25, 2019 to carry on this tradition.

Each student was required to bring two pieces of anti-fleece fabric with 42” by 54” measurements to craft blankets for sickly children.

Advisor Miss Dollinger enjoys this particular project because “It’s something that’s easy and quick we can do that can make a big impact on a lot of kids.”

Secretary Aubrey Wright said, “It’s rewarding to see the final pile of blankets!”

“I like the blanket drive because we know it’s going to such a good cause,” said Junior NHS member Selina Jones.
