A Warm-Hearted Thanks to the ‘Senior Seminar’ Students of Winnacunnet High School!
Kelsie Musumeci and Meghan McDermott are seniors who attend Winnacunnet High School in Hampton, New Hampshire. They reached out to Amy’s Treat after selecting Breast Cancer as their topic of discussion in Senior Seminar, a class based on presenting useful information to teach other students or to have an impact on the community.
Kelsie writes: “For our project we would like to give back to the community by revolving our project around breast cancer. Currently, Meghan and I are on a roll with the sewing projects of the pillows and head wraps. We have also spent our morning making the pink ribbon chocolate lollipops in which we are selling at our school this upcoming week during lunches. We are also presenting a donation box on the table we are selling the lollipops at. It looks like the pillows and head wraps will be finished in a couple weeks.”
“We chose to do breast cancer for our senior seminar project at Winnacunnet High School because October is breast cancer awareness month, and we felt that we could inform people on what breast cancer is, and how it can be. We also chose to raise money for breast cancer, because personally we know people who have had breast cancer and it is not a fun thing, so we realized that we could help give back and we chose to donate to Amy’s Treat because Cindy Cummings who is the fashion and fabrics teacher at Winnacunnet High School, told us about this foundation, and we did research on the foundation and realized that it is a great foundation that we would love to donate anything we can to the foundation.”
Kelsie and Meghan – Winnnacunnet High School presented Amy’s Treat—and in turn the patients of the Seacoast Cancer Center—baskets full of hats, pillows and scarves as well as $212.00 through their sales of breast cancer support chocolate lollipops!
