POST FALLS, Idaho — Students in Karen Lauritzen’s fourth grade class at Treaty Rock Elementary School in Post Falls spent the last few weeks of the school year making colorful fringed blankets for Project Linus.
The nonprofit Project Linus collects new, handmade blankets for children who have gone through trauma or experienced natural disasters like hurricanes, earthquakes or fires or are otherwise in need of a cozy comfort.
Lauritzen’s class learned about the United Nations’ 17 Sustainable Development Goals, which motivated the students to want to help others. The blanket project was made possible through donations from a local business, Silver Ridge Construction, a local Moms Demand Action chapter and parent support.
