My Project

It brings me joy to observe my students taking pride in wearing our school colors and/or school mascot. Since the pandemic, our students are not required to wear dress code but during our designated spirit days many of our scholars take pride in showing their school spirit. Unfortunately, with our economy now, we have parents that are choosing not to purchase spirit wear. Additionally, a great deal of of these students are embarrassed. Either they don't have any spirit wear or it doesn't fit anymore.

With the embroidery machine we will be making t-shirts or special clothing to showcase school spirit and the desired organization they are participating in.

We know when students take pride in something they tend to work harder for success in it! Finally, this will allow our students to be creative and showcase their entrepreneurial spirit and encourage them to think outside of the box with creative solutions!!
