My Project

This school year we have started a Made With Love Club at M.E. School which is family and consumer science club. Our students are eager and ready to learn all that we have to teach them. Our club sponsors third grade, fourth grade, and fifth grade. Our students will be learning essential basic life skills such as cooking and sewing, The items on our list will ensure our Scholars will grow up to be productive self-managing teenagers and adults in the future. We thank you in advance for your support! The electric cooking items will help us to cook our food items, as we do not have access to a kitchen. We would also like sewing machines to teach our scholars how to sew!
