Promoting School Spirit Through Career Technical Education

Help me give my students a variety of sublimation blanks and shirts to promote school spirit.

FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. Mesina-Nonaka's classroom raised $1,000

This project is fully funded

My Project

Imaginative, creative, and loving are words to describe my students.

Having sublimation blanks and shirts will allow my students to design school spirit products that can be sold in our school store.

Through the design process, students will use their creativity which helps improve their self-esteem. Students who are encouraged to think creatively are more open to new ideas and challenges, can work well with others, become better problem solvers, and interested in discovering new ideas for themselves.

In our school, we have CTE Fridays where students learn about different careers. They use computers to plan and design products like sublimated tumblers.
