Many of our students couch surf, live with multiple family members or are in group homes so having basic toiletries sometimes can become difficult. Being able to provide them with basic essentials such as tooth brushes or toothpaste makes the burden a bit less unbearable for them. \r\nFor the future I would like to create more wellness kits specified for young ladies especially with items like pads, heating pads etc.(a lot of girls complain of the poor quality of feminine hygiene products available at school).\r\n I am full of gratitude and on behalf of the entire community of Ridgway High I send all my gratitude.

The class used TinkerCad, Blender, and Fusion 360 to make their ideas and concepts on the computer and the filament and ACE Pro allowed them to bring it to physical form.\r\n\r\nIt was great to see the students express so much excitement, amusement, and curiosity. Providing students with the opportunity to learn new skills is beneficial for them and our society and your contributions allowed for this to happen.

The covers were opportunities for individual self expression and a means for sharing their personal identity. The journals also gave them an opportunity to experience tracking the work they complete and new techniques they learn. \r\nCompleting the journals allowed students to take what they had created with them after completing the class. We enjoyed using the journal for both creating, drawing and for writing and learning new techniques exploring ideas and brainstorming. We created in the sketchbooks and planned and carried out projects. I enjoyed watching student growth through the making of the sketchbooks/journals and the filling of them everyday in class.\r\nLeaving class with a journal/sketchbook of filled pages is satisfying and validating for students. These sketchbooks show evidence of work and creativity expressed.\r\nThis project is one that will be done again, thank you for your support in trying this new technique and helping us make it happen.
