Subject: Passing the torch on a very cool project for the homeless. Who wants it?
We are looking for a new home for our school’s Sleeping Bag Project (making homemade sleeping bags for the homeless out of donated/recycled materials). The 5th-8th graders at Silk Hope Elementary have been doing it at our school in their art classes for the last month or so and have completed around 10-20 bags, but due to curriculum needs they must move on to another school project.
We have leftover supplies and a willingness to teach what we learned to another school or organization. If you are a local school, art class, girl or boy scouts, 4H’er, craft group, etc and can tie a knot, we can show you how to make these very easy-to-make sleeping bags. Several local churches, shelters, and organizations are already asking for them. You can help do good with a little time and love invested. We’ll be ready to pass the torch at the end of this month. Who wants a very cool and unique project to carry on? We’d be happy to share…
