This winter, the Gallatin FBLA chapter has joined together with the Active Aging Resource Center as well as the National Honor Society and Student Council to create Knotted Winter Blessings. Together, organization members from Gallatin R-5 came together to make knotted fleece blankets in the high school gym on Nov. 15. The blankets will be delivered with Blizzard Bundle Bags to each recipient of Meals on Wheels this month.
Over 30 students participated in the event. Each student brought in a piece of fleece and paired up with another student to create a blanket. The event was a success with a grand total of 41 blankets being made.
Later in December, faculty and staff of the Gallatin R-5 School District will have the opportunity to donate $5 dollars to wear jeans for the last week of school leading up to Christmas break. This money will be used to buy items to put in the Blizzard Bundle Bags such as decks of cards, hard candies, flashlights, granola bars, etc. The Blizzard Bundle Bags will be delivered along with the knotted fleece blankets on Dec. 12 to senior residents of Daviess County.
The FBLA Community Service Project, Knotted Winter Blessings, is led by Gallatin R-5 seniors Essie Williamson, Karley Salmon, and Zoe Bradford.
