Volunteers Needed: Designing Kindness T-Shirt Production
We’re bringing student creativity to life—and we’d love your help!
As part of our Designing Kindness project, Crossfield 6th grade students have been designing T-shirts for kindergarten students at Dogwood Elementary. We are now entering the production phase, where those designs will be printed and prepared for delivery.
We are looking for parent volunteers to assist with pressing T-shirts on select days: April 15-17, 22-24 during 6th grade classes (9:20–10:20 AM). Our equipment is auto-run and easy to use, and I will be present at all times to guide and support volunteers.
This is a wonderful opportunity to:
- See student designs come to life
- Support hands-on, real-world learning
- Be part of a meaningful, kindness-driven project
If you are available and interested in helping, we would love to have you join us! Sign up here. Thank you for supporting our students and their incredible work!
