My Project

These polo shirts will be worn while NHS students are completing volunteer work in the community and at other events. NHS students maintain a GPA of 3.5 or higher and commit themselves to completing 30 hours of volunteer work in the community to give back. They do all these things in addition to many other extra curriculars, family life, and even work jobs.

These high achieving students are incredible and will be our best workers and leaders for the future of western Colorado and beyond.

I hope these shirts will contribute to a sense of pride and a recognizable investment to drive their ambitions. I wanted collar shirts because they are a step above your run-of-the-mill T-shirts many of these student leaders receive from their other extra curriculars. It gives added weight to their professionalism and accomplishments as they work in their community. Your donation will have the additional impact to our STEM in manufacturing classes who will design a print to be ironed.

Thank you for your donations.
