My Project

My house Valor students will be having the last house meeting of the year in December! It would be amazing for us to have a hands-on activity for them to do before heading into the holiday break.

Students will make a soft pillow to take home and enjoy!

These pillow kits are an interactive learning opportunity to create an item all on their own. This will be great for our 6-8th grade Valor students at our school! Hands-on activities and learning through crafts are a great way to bond with others they may not know. It’s great when we have no electronics and we just have some fun with students! Thanks for making this happen.

This project will directly impact historically underfunded classrooms.
