During the year, Mrs. Toombs’ Family and Consumer Science class at Albion Middle School tackles learning a number of life skills including a unit on sewing. At the end of the unit, the students are responsible for completing a sewing project. This year the class decided to use their newly learned skills to create pillows to help women following breast cancer surgery. The class then donated the pillows to the Breast Cancer Coalition in Rochester. The Coalition’s job is to support women following a diagnosis of breast cancer all the way through treatment, recovery and survivorship. These pillows will be distributed by the coalition to women at area hospitals and play an essential part in the comfort of many patients.
