Indian Hill Primary School and Indian Hill Elementary School students giving back
Caroline Skeldon is using the sewing machine that was her seventh birthday gift to follow the pattern approved by medical officials. She makes and donates masks to family, friends, and nurses.
“Everyone said great job,” said Skeldon. “My grandparents’ friends said they are so happy and that the masks could save their lives. Our friend said she feels so protected.”
Skeldon got the idea from watching her family members and their friends participating. She wanted to join in to help others. Her mother, Elaine, said the entire family has also felt inspired to help others because of Indian Hill educators.
“We love our Brave family!” said Elaine Skeldon. “It has been so inspiring to see the amazing work that our teachers have done to transform to an online learning environment. Following Facebook and Twitter and seeing the amazing things happening with other Indian Hill School District families is so inspiring. I share so much of that with my children, and it is proof positive that the Indian Hill community fosters so much love, creativity, and ingenuity. We can all find something positive during this unprecedented time to serve our community. Focusing on the positive and what we CAN do feels so good and can be extremely rewarding. We are so proud to be Braves!”

“It has been nice to have something to do during quarantine, and sewing is fun,” said Roeder.
Her mother, Betsy, agrees, “She is super organized and has the drive to get it done considering it has turned into quite a big task!”
Giving back has proven to be the reward for a job well done for each Brave.
“Being a helper feels really good,” said Caroline Skeldon. “I am doing this so that people can stay healthy, and that makes me feel really good.”
