Quilting for a Cause

The Interpersonal Studies Class was busy sewing quilts for the children’s shelter

as a part of the Bright Hopes project. Mrs. Todd and the Greater San Antonio Quilt Guild provided the supplies needed in order for the students to complete the project. Mrs. Duron’s students assembled the quilts by sewing the quilted

top, batting, and backing together.

They finished the quilts by hand tying all the layers

together. These quilts will give comfort to the children in their time of need.

TODAY’S FORECAST…

As a culmination to their science unit about weather, the 4th grade classes were recently visited by Albert Flores, the meteorologist for Channel 4, WOAI. The

students showed off their understanding of various weather topics by answering Mr. Flores’ questions, and were able to ask questions of their own at

the end of the presentation. Topics included tornadoes, hurricanes, the formation of lightning and much more. Afterwards, each 4th grade class had its picture taken with Mr. Flores. He even brought Channel 4’s new Storm Tracker

vehicle.

If you missed the classes on Channel 4, click on the link below to see Mr. Flores mention them on the morning news!

Battered Women’s Shelter

The Child Development Class at Stacey Junior/Senior High recently studied

domestic violence and child abuse. Upon completing the unit, student participated

in a service project in which they sewed and stuffed personal care kits. The kits were made by using a wash cloth and sewing compartments for the items to be

placed. Students also sewed a ribbon on the end for the kit to be rolled and tied

together. The child development class and FCCLA members made 97 kits that were donated to the Battered Women’s Shelter. Many of the items placed in the

kits were donated by local businesses, and the Lackland PTSO also helped

purchase the supplies needed. The care kits included shampoo, conditioner, a tooth brush, tooth paste, dental floss, lotion, a comb, chapstick, and a soap bar.

Students also had the opportunity to tour the shelter to see how the facility helps

our community. They learned about the intake process, services they provide to women and their children, and career opportunities in the human services career

cluster.

We would not have been able to make the kits without the support of our

community. Thank you to the following businesses and organizations for helping

Stacey students with their service learning project.
