Sew We Go Camping 2.0

Help me give my students final touches on their "Camp Library" and sewing lab. Trays for students to have sewing tools available next to them and cutting mats are essential. A kettle and mallets are key camp equipment.

My Project

Our students come from twenty-six zip codes around Baltimore City. They are as diverse as our city is, making a community that is 66% African American, 27% White, 3% Hispanic/Latinx, 4% Asian or more than one race; approximately 45% come from families considered low-income.

There is no better way to bridge our divides than to have our diverse student community work together on common goals.

Our inner city elementary and middle school students need help funding their textile arts program and camping adventure, both of which are interrelated and are a valuable part of their curriculum. Our textile arts program is used for fundraising and costume design for school performances. They'll need cutting mats, scissors, and pin cups for designing patterns where they learn real-life applications of geometry. Having trays and small buckets next to machines for sewing tools keeps things tidy and on the table. Student fundraising of sewn goods teaches them how to budget, inventory, market sales, and create profit and loss accounting statements. All of their fundraising is used for their end of year camping trip. They plan all aspects of their trip and need to consider everyone's needs, including adults. They were excited to know they have a French press to accommodate their chaperones need for morning coffee, but a student quickly noted we have no tea kettle to boil the water. To be successful fundraisers, creators, and campers, my students must learn to consider each others' valuable perspectives which are drawn from their own experiences.

My students are enthusiastic, creative, and motivated. They will do amazing things if given the resources, but being from an inner city public school, resources are scant. They would be overjoyed for any help they get to run their business, textile arts program, and obtain essential camping
