Project of the Month

Maddie's First Responder Bag

The 'Maddie's Bag' was created by one of our students who wanted to acknowledge her local police department for all of their hard work. The project can be modified to express gratitude to our hometown heroes of local fire departments as well as police. A special way of saying 'thank you' for protecting our communities.

Each project comes with all supplies and educational materials.
