We appreciate all School-Related Professionals at M-W who work hard each day to ensure the well-being of our students. You're the best! 💜🌟

Staff members from the Transportation Department and the Education Center met at the Bus Garage to deliver their donations of 390 handmade blankets destined for the arms of children who are "seriously ill, traumatized, or otherwise in need.” Project Linus has donated more than 9 million blankets to "children in hospitals, shelters, social service agencies, or anywhere that a child might be in need of a big hug" since 1995 and M-W has been supporting their mission for several years. We are proud of our "blanketeers" for their kindness and caring, and for the many hours spent creating this mountain of hugs!💜🤗

Crusaders represent!💞🙏
