Author: Stephanie Stanavich Updated: 11:29 PM EDT April 4, 2021 A group of Olentangy Local School District students got together through video chat to make hand-tied blankets for hospital patients at Soin Medical Center in Beavercreek. The eighth-grade students are part of an online program – just for this year – called Olentangy Committed Distance Learning (CDL). This "blanket club" was started by social studies teacher Amy Koons. Fellow teacher Jennifer Ebersole said many students are struggling through the pandemic as much as everyone else. Koons and Ebersole, who teach the same students, want to ensure they're focusing on the kids' social skills and mental health while helping them in both areas.
