Ms. Hermann and Ms. Pisano, our two fantastic Cedar Ridge FAC teachers, wanted to share the following information, in case some of you can help them with their project.
"The FAC students are working on building a business for their occupational development class. As part of that business, we are doing a wreath fundraiser. The FAC students will be making holiday wreaths.
The fundraiser requires the students to learn about recycling old clothes for a new purpose, to build fine motor skills by cutting the materials and tying them onto the wire, and to work on money skills by writing receipts, delivering products, and making change.
If you have any old green, red, white, stripped, holiday blue, grey, gold, or silver material, clothes, and/or ribbon, we would greatly appreciate you dropping these off in the front office. Thank you so much for your support! "
Here is a picture of the wreaths they will be making:
