For the past two years, Lefler 8th grade students created a Student Identity Through Embroidery Panel project that gave them the opportunity to explore their personal identity and how it is influenced by their ethnicity, pop culture, family history, personal experiences and interests. Students were highly engaged, deeply invested in the project and proud of their embroidery and the essays they wrote. It was a huge success and we would like to do it again this year.
Through this project, students will identify the elements most essential to their identity and think through how to best express them in a collage using photos, text, and symbols. The resulting images will be printed onto fabric that students will then embroider and embellish to add another personal touch, new skillset and layer of meaning. They will also work with community and parent volunteers who will assist the students as they learn new embroidery techniques. The project will culminate in an evening community event where students will showcase their artwork to staff, family, and community members.
To complete this project we need funds to purchase fabric, embroidery floss, ribbons, beads, batting, dowels and other materials. Requesting $900 plus cost reimbursement.

Hello!

This fundraiser is to raise money for Clinton 5th graders to have t-shirts to wear to the LPS-funded Saltdogs field trip on May 19th. We are hoping to provide t-shirts for two reasons. First, Clinton Comets will be able to have a memento of their 5th grade field trip they can take home and hold onto as they start middle school. Second, the t-shirts would be purchased in a neon color. This allows us to easily find students within the crowd of 5th graders.

With these funds, we would be looking to purchase 80 t-shirts from Art F/X, a local screening and printing company in Lincoln. 70 of these shirts would be given to students. 10 of these shirts would be given to chaperoning adults for the field trip. Overall, each shirt would cost us $10.75. We are requesting $860 plus cost reimbursement fees.

We hope you donate to our cause. We appreciate you opening and donating to our cause. Thanks!
