Fabric Scraps & Supplies Needed!

As many of you know, our creative staff found a way to include ALL 4th & 5th grade students in "clubs" of their choice on Fridays- during the school day! I am SUPER EXCITED about the continuation of this work and the passion our staff put into it! The children LOVE choosing their clubs and engaging in a topic they are interested in each week!


This year, Ms. Wrighton is offering a FASHION DESIGN CLUB! To ensure that the students have the best possible experience, she's asking for help from our school community. If you are able to, please donate old clothing or fabric (pre-washed), tulle, buttons, ribbons, lace, scissors, fabric tape, fabric glue, fabric dye, mannequins, body forms, etc...


Thank you so much for your support!

Consider contributing towards and / or sharing about a VSE Donor's Choose Project!

Sight Word Blocks Community Project!

We are looking at options for adding academic supports into our environment (playgrounds, stair cases, etc...) Think sight words, repeated addition, multiplication facts, etc...While it will take some time, research, and funding to bring this all to life, I am very excited about coming together as a community to get started with the project pictured here!


We'll need scrap wood donations, vinyl letters or stencils, outdoor paint, paint brushes, zip ties and many hands! We could also use help from someone who is willing to apply for a Lowe's Toolbox for Education Grant or a Home Depot Retool Your School Grant on our behalf.


Please let Ms. Curtis (rcurtis@wcpss.net) know if you're interested, and thank you in advance for your support! Supplies and materials can be dropped off in the main office.
