The Natural Helpers of Jonathan Law are helping out their community by sending cards to the local healthcare workers at Milford Hospital.

Cards are being accepted from anyone at Jonathan Law, including faculty and students. They will all be collected at the high school and brought to the hospital to be given to the healthcare workers who are working tirelessly to help save the community.

“I wanted our club to be able to make a positive impact on the community in a way that was safe and practical, which is why I asked the group if they had any ideas,” advisor Ms. Smuniewski said. ”MaKenna Sharpe asked if we could write thank you notes to the medical personnel at Milford Hospital.”

The Natural Helpers are trying to get everyone involved in helping the healthcare workers. Ryan Kulenych, 3rd grader and son of Law’s journalism teacher Mr. Kulenych decided he wanted help as well. 

“I wrote a card so the workers can feel appreciated and I wrote Thank You First Responders,” said Ryan Kulenych. “I am really thankful for what they have done during this pandemic.”

Advisor Smuniewski made sure that the Milford Hospital would accept the cards.

“After getting in touch with the hospital and hearing how appreciative they would be of this gesture, our club spread the word to try and get as many kindness cards/ letters as possible,” Smuniewski said.

Milford Hospital is planning on arranging the cards into a bulletin board display in their break room.

“I think that this will be a great way to show the heroes on the front lines that we admire and appreciate all that they are doing to keep us safe,” Smuniewski said. “I’m hoping that when they view the messages of kindness and love from JLHS, they can find some peace and comfort in them amidst all of the chaos and sadness.”

Anyone who would like to send in a letter should do so as soon as possible so that it gets to the school in time for the pickup date of Monday, May 11th. 

Please address all letters to Jonathan Law High School with Attn. Ms. Smuniewski at 20 Lansdale Ave. Milford, CT 06460.
