Dress A Girl

"Imagine a world where every girl owned at least one dress," this is the motto of the Dress a Girl Around the World program and the inspiration for the Dress A Girl project at El Capitan Middle School. The project was an amazing experience for both the students and staff. The students engaged in the sewing unit in a way that not only taught them the curriculum in a real world setting, but also provided a sense of compassionate service. At the end of the project 53 dresses were sewn, 33 more than the project goal, that will be sent to girls in Romania.
