third grade trees are back!
There were some pretty happy youngsters a few weeks ago. On Friday, May 5, after a hiatus due to COVID-19, the Marlton Woman's Club again gave tree saplings to 3rd graders at Van Zant School.
This project teaches about recycling and is usually done around Earth Day. The students LOVED getting their trees!
Eight MWC members helped the students wrap 150 trees to give to the third graders and kindergarten students. We heard lots of "This is fun!" and "Thank you!!" Many hands made the job easy too.
Thanks to MWC club members who were part of the tree-mendous day: Roberta Calabria, Sue Price, Donna Gatti, Linda Magee, Paula Wormald, Sue Gaskill, Sandy Meltz and committee chair June Adair.

On Saturday, March 25, more than 20 members gathered to make no-sew blankets as gifts for the residents of Covenant House. Thank you to Jan Martin for hosting the event.
The at-risk teens from Covenant House will take these comforting blankets with them as "theirs" when they leave Covenant House. The group made 18 blankets that day and we have a total of 22 to donate.
Covenant House supports youth who are homeless who often find themselves disconnected from the necessary supports and systems that we may take for granted. Parental or adult support is often missing or abusive. Many of these youth have been part of systems such as foster care that can perpetuate their trauma. Covenant House is the largest privately funded agency in the Americas providing shelter, food, immediate crisis care, and an array of other services to homeless and runaway youth. Covenant House serves over 46,000 homeless and trafficked youth per year across 30 cities in the United States, Canada, Mexico, Guatemala, Honduras, and Nicaragua.
