Tony Clement Center for Education student Alexis Johnston turned her skill and love of pillow-making into a way to provide comfort to those in need.
With the help of teacher Mary Matthews, Johnston formed "The Alexis Project” and set to work making pillows to donate to the 91¸£Àûµ¼º½ Ronald McDonald House. Johnston and Matthews delivered 12 colorful pillows to the house, which helped provide some much needed comfort to the family members of children hospitalized over the holiday season.
The pillows were delivered on Dec. 11.
The Ronald McDonald House provides a haven of comfort, love, hope and support – free of charge – for critically ill children and their families.
The mission of the City School District of 91¸£Àûµ¼º½ is to work in partnership with our diverse community to engage every learner in a robust educational program designed to provide the knowledge and skills necessary for success. The district serves nearly 9,700 students in 18 elementary, middle and high schools. In addition to neighborhood schools, the district includes several magnet schools and programs, as well as other innovative academic opportunities for students, including four themed academies at 91¸£Àûµ¼º½ High School.
