| Impact Report | University High School Sewing Classes A total of 55 sewing classes were conducted at Roswell’s alternative high school throughout the 2010-2011 school year during this reporting period to teach high risk/low income students sewing basics. Through open labs and individual attention, the program assistant attended classes twice a week and worked with students to construct various handmade items including tote bags, quilts, pillowcases, and scrunchies. Another 13 classes were held during the beginning of the 2011-2012 school year, reaching 32 student contacts. Skills taught included the parts of the sewing machine, use of sewing notions, sewing safety, and the use of basic arithmetic. Students are also learning problem solving and critical thinking while constructing items they enjoyed. |
