Second graders at Church Hill Elementary School in Church Hill put their artistic talents and their study of the artist, Vincent Van Gogh, to good use this spring with a very special project — to paint a “crash cart” for use in pediatric care at UM Shore Medical Center at Chestertown. With the school’s art teacher, Cassie Hosler, the students transformed a dull, gray metal crash cart into a thing of beauty, reminiscent of Van Gogh’s famous “starry night” painting. “It took a lot of paint,” noted one of the budding artists. “We put it on really thick so it won’t peel off and will keep looking beautiful for a long time.”
The students, Ms. Hosler and the school principal, Lloyd Taylor, were excited to unveil their work of art to UM Shore Medical Center at Chestertown nursing staff members Jennifer Nutley, director of Emergency Services at the hospital, Linda Pippin, clinical coordinator, Emergency Services, Beverly Greaves, pediatric readiness nurse and Steven Jacobson, clinical coordinator, Emergency Services.
