On Dec. 17, Oyler students went on a field trip to The Ronald McDonald House to donate 104 craft packs to the children. The Ronald McDonald house cares for families while their children receive treatment at Childrens’ Hospital. The house, located right next to the Hospital, cares for 78 families, including parents and siblings. The students that attended the trip included two sophomores, Janasha Cross and Tabitha Zinveli, and two freshmen, Keeziah Britten and Nautica Bacca’Canalis. At the Ronald McDonald house, the students took a tour around the house. Inside the house there is a theater, library, and an arts and crafts room for the children. The house is beautiful inside and outside. By easing the financial and emotional burdens of caregivers and by taking care of important practical needs, the house allows parents to focus entirely on caring for their children. Outpatient children living in the house can enjoy activities, special events, and making friends with other kids who have a mask, a feeding tube or a bald head just like them.
