Zealous Students, Special to the Daily
For the past five weeks, students at Zealous Schools in Edwards have been working on a unique fashion art project. Through the project, students explored expression through designing, sewing and learning all about the fashion industry. This week, the project ended with a Project Runway catwalk competition at Eagle Ranch’s wood park structure.
The five-week unit was initiated by one of the school’s seventh-grade students who had recently taken an interest in fashion and sewing.
“I got into sewing and the fashion industry during quarantine as a way to do something, because COVID-19 is boring,” said Sam Grimmer, a seventh-grade student at Zealous. “At my school, we are taught to teach the students around us, so I took inspiration from around the school to put together a lesson plan.”
