Fairhaven Learning Project

Fairhaven operates as a private school, it has been around since 2010 and now operates as a 501(c)3. Thelma Seyferth shares, “In September 2017 we started the Teddy Bears for Kids project. This project is made possible by the children of the school, who are the “sew-crafters”, and they make stuffed teddy bears for children who are hospitalized or homeless. We use Fairfield Poly-Fil to stuff our bears. It takes about 1.5 pounds to stuff a large bear and 3/4lb to stuff a small bear. Our bears are delivered to homeless children through Children’s Service agencies as well as children who are hospitalized. This initiative began three months ago and 25 bears have already been donated. We are excited to continue this project through next year.”
