Our students and I have been using these materials to design personalized craft pieces that represent their individuality and school pride. The students loved choosing their house colors and adding their own unique touches to their designed item.\r\n\r\nWhen the students first saw all the materials laid out, their eyes lit up. Many of them gasped, whispered to their friends & family, & immediately started brainstorming what they wanted to create. It was such a joy to watch the room fill with energy and imagination.\r\n\r\nThanks to your generosity, our donors got a little peek into our family craft night by supporting this project, and we'd love to share more. Our next steps are to build on these crafts by creating additional house items to display around the school.
