‘TEENS FOR EDUCATIONAL TALENT SEARCH’
DONATE FLEECE TIE BLANKETS TO AVERA HOLY FAMILY HOSPITAL

Students involved with ‘TEENS for Educational Talent Search’ at Iowa Lakes Community College donated fleece tie blankets to Avera Holy Family Hospital in Estherville.

‘TEENS’ is a program for students grades 9 through 12 in the five county area (Clay, Dickinson, Emmet, Kossuth and Palo Alto) who have at least a 2.5 GPA and a vision for leadership. The group meets monthly to promote community betterment through volunteerism, fun workshops and special trips.

‘TEENS’ students volunteered their time on April 21 to cut and tie nine fleece blankets. They made the decision to donate the blankets to the Avera Holy Family Hospital’s OB ward in Estherville.

On May 19, ‘TEENS’ students donated the blankets to the hospital. OB nurses, Jo Rehm, Judy McQuown, and Velvet Lundgren, accepted the blankets from the students. These blankets will be given to newborn babies at the hospital.
