Staff at the North Branch Area Education Center are rallying behind Evelyn, a brave kindergarten student awaiting a life-saving heart transplant. Today, staff proudly wore Hearts for Evelyn shirts to show their love and support for her and her family.
Evelyn’s journey is being shared on her Facebook page, Hearts for Evelyn (https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=61567380579056), where you can follow her story as she waits for her new heart. Her family is also partnered with the Children’s Organ Transplant Association (COTA) — a national nonprofit that helps families like theirs raise funds for transplant-related needs, allowing them to focus on what matters most: caring for Evelyn.
Every post, picture, and update shared through Hearts for Evelyn is part of her story — and by following along, you become part of her community of hope, love, and strength.

Each student chose their own color of warp string to "string up" the inkle loom. They heddled their top warp strands so they could make the opening called the shed, then they wound the weft string around a shuttle to begin the weaving process. Students were surprised by the process and enjoyed how hands-on it was.
A huge thanks to the North Branch Area Education Foundation for generously approving the grant to pay for the inkle looms, shuttles and warp string for our students to use!
