Hearts for Healthcare Workers
The handmade hearts sent to Kaiser Hospital’s Covid Unit this past week were a huge hit! Nurses and other staff were excited to receive a special gift from students. They were all so unique. The only problem was deciding which one was their favorite! This nurse said she plans to put a magnet on hers and keep it on her locker at work.

Framing Needed
Hello Everybody,
We are organizing collaborative class art projects to be auctioned off at the Wish Benefit. We need to professionally frame some of the projects. If anyone has any favorite local framers or knows how to frame art we could use the help.
Also, we are looking for someone who can draw an outline of a tree on a large quality paper.
We might be asking for more help, but that is it for now!
Thanks so much,
Meghan Brand Stauf
