Students in Mrs. Kramer’s 8th grade Family & Consumer Sciences students made fleece blankets through a grant funded by McDonalds. The blankets were constructed with fun, vibrant prints of various kid-friendly designs for both boys and girls. They were donated to Shriners Hospital in Erie, PA to give to patients who may need some extra-special comfort!

Participants:
8th grade Family & Consumer Sciences Students (Only 10 students, along with Mrs. Kramer and Mr. Koma, went to Shriners to donate them in person.)

The National Council of Teachers of English honored 595 high school seniors as outstanding writers in the 2007 NCTE Achievement Awards in Writing. The chosen students were among the almost two thousand students nominated by their teachers last year throughout the 50 states, District of Columbia, Virgin Islands, Canada and American Schools Abroad. McDowell’s Sarah Granahan was among those talented writers and was awarded a Certificate of Superior Writing. A team of English teachers chosen from throughout the students’ home state judged the writing, looking especially for writing that demonstrated effective and imaginative use of language to inform and move an audience. Congratulations to Sarah on this prestigious award.
