Gingerbread House Activity
Volunteers came to Bellevue on December 13th and built gingerbread
houses with the children on our inpatient pediatric psychiatry
unit. This year the children seemed to have a mission of putting
as much candy on their houses as they possibly could. Most
of them succeeded too. It was a fun evening for children and
volunteers alike.
At the end of the evening the houses were put together to
create a scrumptious gingerbread village for all to see. Gift
Wrapping
On Monday, December 11th volunteers came to Bellevue to assist
the staff in wrapping holiday gifts. There are a number of
children who stay in our inpatient care units throughout the
holiday. Many of these children are in foster care or from
low-income families. Through in-kind and monetary donations
we are able to provide each child with gifts to help ease
the pain and loneliness of being in the hospital during the
winter holidays.
North Pole Calls
On December 6th children on Bellevue's inpatient pediatric
psychiatry unit had the chance to call the North Pole and
speak with a group of Santa's 'elves' (volunteers from our
Board and Junior committee). These friendly Christmas helpers
talked to the kids about school, the holidays, their favorite
colors, songs and all sorts of things. It was an exciting
evening for the children and the elves.
