The arts components of this project will also stimulate students. Hopefully, the quilt which will be permanently displayed in the school's art gallery will serve as a constant reminder to be sensitive to factors which impact one's environment. A monetary award would allow full implementation of the program as well as expansion of the program school-wide. The award would provide the funds necessary to have books library bound, purchase materials for the Haley Story Quilt, artist fees for Junebug Productions, Inc., GOF, and Donald Harrison. The writing component of the project will be continued past the two-year timeline.
All classes have computers with a children's publishing program installed.
This program is used for maintaining journal writing and writing class newsletters. The writing component of this project can be replicated throughout the school district. The story starters related to local environmental concerns have been developed by individuals from Junebug and myself. These could be copied for distribution throughout the school district. Books and a simpler type of quilt could also be developed.
