Tis’ the season for fundraising. Jodi Phelan, mother of senior, Kelly Phelan, dedicated her time to creating jewelry for the Christmas Bazaar on December 4th.
“Raising $1,424 was worth every late night spent wire wrapping and stringing beads,” said Jodi Phelan, mother of two, and Ellicott City resident.
Bracelets, necklaces and earrings were sold and half of the earnings were distributed into the Prom fund for the senior class. Phelan spent over 100 hours preparing for this event and continued to create up until the night before. With the help of seniors Emma Talbot, Bridget Boland, Mikia Omar, Clare Stavely, Maureen Cashen, Meghan Lawrence, Julie Ratcliffe, Kara Hand, Jess Ladd and Kelly Phelan working the table, the sales were up and running. Phelan has only been making jewelry for a year and a half now, but once presented with this opportunity, jumped right on board.
“I’m so proud to see all of my mom’s hard work pay off. She’ll be thrilled to hear how many girls are wearing her necklaces around school,” said Kelly Phelan.
