Help Field School Students Make Recycled Bags!

The Field School Green Leadership Team, a group of 4th and 5th grade students committed to make small changes to help the environment, is using recycled fabrics to make reusable bags. With some cutting and sewing, the old materials will become new, reusable tote bags for our community members.

The students have cut out the patterns and begun sewing but they need your help! Can you lend a hand in sewing the designs? Instructions will be provided. A sewing machine is required, as this is done in your own home. If you'd like to lend your sewing skills to this project contact the COA to pick up materials 781-786-6280.
