Westbrook, CT, June, 2002 -- The work of three Westbrook High School students will be recognized next month at the national convention for Family, Career and Community Leaders of America, in Minneapolis, MN, thanks to a $3,000 Grant from the Westbrook Foundation.

Shadia Goldstein, president, Carol Einsmann, vice president, and Amy Gronholm, officers and member of the local chapter of FCCLA, will be honored July 7-12 for a Community Service project conducted this past Christmas at Yale-New Haven Children’s Hospital. The high school juniors sewed, machine embroidered and stuffed over a dozen Holiday stockings for 10 to 12 year old patients at the Hospital. The Grant will help defray the student’s travel and lodging costs. Mrs. Marjorie Wheeler, Family & Consumer Sciences teacher at the high school, will accompany the students to Minneapolis.
