The coolest part was when they didn't want one design to win but that they combined all of their designs into one because, we are one community. Then students cut the design using vinyl, put them on screens, and printed over 250 shirts by hand. Afterwards, students ironed them, did quality checks, organized & packaged them. They created labels for each \"order\" and delivered them across our school and even to\r\nLeaders in our district. Students were so proud to wear their shirts for our first spirit day.
