My Project

We are a Title 1 school and my students are no stranger to seeing those in need. Often they see a need in their own communities. We want to give our students the ability to do something about this need. We would love to give our students the opportunity to design inspirational hoodies with quotes that will bring a smile to the faces of their recipients. We will give these hoodies to needy families in local homeless centers.

As Gordon Hinckley stated, “One of the great ironies of life is this: He or she who serves almost always benefits more than he or she who is served.” Please help make this possibility a reality.
