The Guilderland school community donated 1,184 books to Project: Cameron’s Story, through the Books for Babies book drive held at all seven GCSD school buildings.
In ten years, the GCSD school community has contributed over 11,461 children’s books to Project: Cameron’s Story, a not-for-profit organization that collects new children’s books for families of babies in the neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) at more than a dozen hospitals throughout New York. This year the organization collected 30,138 books!
For Guilderland’s Project: Cameron’s Story coordinator, teacher Jamie Mullins, this is an organization near to her heart. Her own son, born premature, was a recipient of a Project: Cameron’s Story book.
What is Project: Cameron’s Story?
The goal of Project: Cameron’s Story is to support the bonding of parents with their premature babies in the NICU through the use of children’s literature and storytelling.
