My Project

COVID-19 has thrown our students into a new world in which making connections and feeling connected has become quite challenging. We know that when students feel connected they are more likely to be engaged and productive learners. We also know that when students do not feel connected they are less likely to thrive and may experience feelings of anxiety and depression. A strong sense of belonging builds community, positivity, and is supportive. If there is one thing we now know from COVID-19 it is our students crave connection. By using the Cricut Easypress we will be able to make our own school pride t-shirts, hoodies, cinch sacks, and jackets for students! This will help them feel like they are part of a great community!
