Well Know Fabric Artist, Katherine MacColl, Gives Students a Quilting Primer

Katherine MacColl, a well-known fabric artist from Conway, Massachusetts, joined students on Thursday to help them in their latest project. Students plan to make quilts, pillows and stuffed animals for young people fighting cancer. In conjunction with Griffin's Friends, a group providing support to children in treatment centered at Bay State Medical Center, RY students will donate the items they sew. Katherine gave students a wonderful primer, helping them with mathematical calculations and creative ideas. The project is well underway and we'll have some finished work soon!

Students Give A Happy Surprise to Children Fighting Cancer
















This week RY students created magnificent cupcake creations for young people receiving treatment for cancer at Bay State Medical Center. Students made the cupcakes and wrote notes of encouragement that patients enjoyed following their treatment at the hospital. The cupcakes turned out wonderfully and I know that they'll bring a smile to the faces of all who see them.
