The moment the students saw the sewing machines set up and the colorful yarn and threads neatly organized, their faces absolutely lit up. For many, this was their first hands-on experience with sewing, and their curiosity quickly turned into confidence as they began experimenting with stitches and designs.\r\n\r\nOne of the first projects we tackled was creating simple drawstring bags, and watching the students problem-solve, collaborate, and help one another thread needles or troubleshoot machine hiccups was inspiring. These projects have already taught them patience, precision, and the pride that comes with seeing their ideas take shape.\r\n\r\nThe next steps for our young creators include designing custom pillowcases and small plush toys, and we're working toward organizing a showcase where they can display their work to the school community. Your donation didn't just provide supplies — it opened the door for self-expression, new skills, and lifelong confidence.\r\n\r\nThank you for being such an important part of our classroom journey!","fullyFundedDate":1735317457025,"projectUrl":"project/stitching-success-empowering-lodi-middl/8805639/","projectTitle":"Stitching Success: Empowering Lodi Middle Vikings with Sewing Skills","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Cervantes","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp8843942_orig.jpg?crop=2316,2316,x0,y432&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1680897011426","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/8843942"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_39658","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":922,"numTeachers":44,"percentFrplEligible":88,"percentAsian":13,"percentBlack":2,"percentWhite":15,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":62,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"7 - 8","studentTeacherRatio":"21.0:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":true,"metroType":"URBAN","ncesMetroType":"CITY_SMALL"},"inStateSupporters":92.3,"schoolId":39658,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Lodi Middle School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Lodi Middle School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/california/lodi-unified-school-district/lodi-middle-school/39658"}
