Walnut Grove Fifth Grade Class

Maia DeLaat’s 5th Grade class at Walnut Grove Elementary School in Pleasanton collected clothing, baby accessories, and a financial donation for premature babies in Stanford Health Care – ValleyCare’s Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU). They were inspired by Mrs. DeLaat’s personal experience – she gave birth to twins who had to spend about 7 weeks in a NICU themselves. The kids wanted to honor their teacher, while keeping their donation in their community.
