A Mena High School student is using creativity, compassion, and a talent for crocheting to make a difference for some of Arkansas’s tiniest patients.
Lyela Hohmann, a ninth student at Mena High School, recently crocheted handmade hats to donate to the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU) at Arkansas Children’s Hospital. The hats were created especially for newborns receiving care in the NICU.
What began with yarn and a crochet hook became a meaningful service project. Each hat required time, patience, and careful attention, but for Lyela, knowing the hats would be given to babies and families during an important time made the work worthwhile.
“I wanted to do something that could help others,” said Lyela. “Knowing that something I made might bring a little comfort to a baby and their family makes it special.”
In total, Lyela crocheted 37 hats for the project. The handmade donation is an example of how students can use their individual talents to serve others and make a positive impact beyond their school and community. Lyela has completed all 75 hours of the required community service.
Mena High School is proud to recognize Lyela Hohmann for demonstrating kindness, generosity, and a heart for service. Through this thoughtful project, one student has shown that even a small handmade gift can represent a great deal of care.
Mena FCCLA had a great day at Lake Degray. Members gave back by picking up trash around the area and then joined other groups for fun leadership and team building activities. A great day is service, leadership and making connections.
