The Willowwind School Sandbag TREATbag project!
Saturday, October 4, 2008
From Sarah Hamilton at the Willowwind Elementary school:
"The Willowwind grade school students worked with their partners (each year, the younger students are paired up with older students in a mentor role) to plan the design of their bags and list needed supplies on Monday; then I gathered and prepped the materials, and the teachers and I worked with the children to create the bags on Wednesday. They worked so diligently on the designs and closures; some of the students even took their bags home to add some finishing touches.
Kate Richey, our 7th and 8th grade teacher, made three bags on her own -- one clutch, one messenger-style bag, and another with a stylish flap (and the word "Patience"). She is so creative and talented! Other Willowwind teachers who helped students create bags include: Michelle Beninga (Kindergarten), Brooke Orrell (1st and 2nd grade), Debbie Wilson (3rd and 4th grade), and Kevin Black (5th and 6th grade)."
For safety reasons we cannot release the names of all the children that contributed, but the Sandbag Handbaggers would like to extend a huge thanks to all their creative efforts! Keep up the good work kids!
