Crochet for Mental Health and Advocacy

Funded Dec 2, 2024

Thank you for the crocheting materials, other art supplies, and snacks for my classroom. In just one week, students learned how to crochet! And together they crocheted a sea coral installation that now hangs in the school! They learned about the importance of sea corals as an ecosystem, as well as the importance of addressing mental health through art.

Students were ecstatic upon see all the different colors and choices of yarn. It was a motivator for getting them to complete a coral, so they could go ahead and complete another in a different color and texture.

We hope to continue this project by allowing future classes to add on to the installation! Again, many thanks for taking an interest in our project.”
