PORT ANGELES — Students from Stevens Middle School’s Project Linus Club donated 65 fleece blankets to representatives of Washington Peninsula Project Linus at a pizza party June 6.
The club meets weekly from January to June to make the blankets.
The hand-made blankets will be distributed to patients at Seattle Children’s Hospital.
One club member, seventh-grader Hayden Webber, knows first-hand how comforting a Project Linus blanket can be from her own stay at the children’s hospital.
“It was so pretty, teal-colored and covered with whales,” Webber said. “It was so soft I wouldn’t let go of it.”
According to a press release, students at Stevens Middle School have been involved with the project for 13 years and have donated almost 500 blankets during that time.
