• Design in Style

  Funded Nov 29, 2022

  It's unbelievable the things that students will come up with once you give free rein to their imagination. The Cameo Silhouette, Cricut and Brother ScanCut machines allowed our classroom to make designs for almost everything. Our best work so far are the cards for all occasions.

  Even though many of our designs were flops we really enjoyed the learning process. With practice, we are close to unveiling our masterpiece.

  Thanks to your generous donation, teaching became more visually interesting. Handouts turned into adventures. We are grateful for your partnership and deep support of education. We are looking forward to collaborating more with you.”
