Shields Delivered by GMG

You may recall O’Maley teachers Dave Brown and Amy Donnolly are making shields at O’Maley Innovation Middle School to be distributed as needed to medical staff or wherever needed.  See the GMG podcast 415 for additional information. If you are inspired to donate, click here.

Amy and Dave recently contacted us seeking assistance with delivery of shields to the Lahey Outpatient Clinic in Danvers, and we were happy to be able to help. Amanda met us upon arrival at the clinic and happily received the donated shields. This was their second delivery of shields from Amy and Dave’s project and we were proud to be a very small part of this amazing project. We might call it the Dalpiaz Curbside Pickup and Delivery Service. Thanks Dave and Amy! You rock!
