The Problem
In honor of Universal Children’s Day on November 20th, The Brooksfield School, a Montessori school in McLean, Virginia, wanted to create a sense of community by kids helping kids. Brooksfield worked with students, parents, and community members to create no-sew fleece blankets for INOVA Fairfax Children's Hospital. Brooksfield is always looking for ways to make a tangible contribution to the community. After a friend of Brooksfield spent the summer battling Leukemia, the school couldn't think of a better project or recipient than the blankets for the Children's Hospital.
