Today is Random Acts of Kindness Day! Do something nice for someone else today! #BKP #SCCares
Jesse Bomberry, Trenton Logan, and Simon White recently completed their ribbon shirt project in Ms. Tahamont’s Seneca 5 class. The boys learned how to follow a pattern, use a rotary tool, lay down ribbon, a continuous lap, add collars and cuffs, sew and do a hem all while learning Seneca. It was a tedious process. The snow days and holiday breaks set them back, but the students persevered and finished the project. A special thanks to Mrs. Huff for showing the class how to do the button holes. #BKP #SCCares
