Funded Oct 15, 2019From the beginning of our Donors Choose journey, my students were so excited. Every week we would watch the donation amount rise until we reached our goal. When the materials finally arrived, the girls joyfully screamed and couldn't wait to dig into all the crafts. They couldn't believe that people they didn't even know would want to contribute to our project and help them have a successful and fun Girls Club.
So far, the calendars and tote bags have been a huge hit. The girls enjoyed filling in the calendars with their friends' birthdays, important dates, and holidays. We also included national holidays from their home countries such as Honduras, Dominican Republic, and Puerto Rico. The girls loved decorating the tote bags with the paint we received. It was such a joy to see how creative the girls can be.
As most of the girls in the Lunch Club are 5th graders and will graduate in June, we are starting to brainstorm how we can use our crafts and incorporate them into the Senior Prom and graduation. The girls really want to showcase what we have been working on and the skills they have acquired. Stay tuned!”
With gratitude,
