Eastbrook Elementary fourth graders in Putnam County are learning to handcraft knitted hats as an extracurricular activity. When days are cold and wet outside, students may choose to get a loom, some yarn, and a friend or two to create the hats. 🧶 The hats will be donated to a relief distribution site serving western North Carolina as a way of showing our West Virginian spirit from one mountain community to another.
Students also want to create hats to gift to a NICU or other organization serving newborns. The students are learning the satisfaction of creating something with their hands, seeing a project to completion, and helping others through their time and resources. 🎉
