My Project

At our amazing middle school aims to help all students to be engaged, valued, and challenged both at school and within our global community. We want every student to be able to have the opportunity to learn to give back to less fortunate children. My name is Rachel A. Wilson. I teach FACS which is an elective at our middle school. I teach the students life skills that they will use for a lifetime. We spend a lot of time exploring, researching, learning, and most importantly create a lot of hands-on projects.

All the sewing supplies and equipment listed are items that will help give many of the students the basic knowledge to give back and pursue more opportunities in their future education and life paths.

We strive to show equality at our school and to all our students. All these items will truly give all the students many opportunities give back.
