The Achieve Class Project

Project Scope:

Each student started by coloring in TheGoodBuddyBrand logo on the front of their sweatshirts.

They then made 2 designs. One design illustrated their meaning of what it means to be a good buddy,

And the other design shares something about them.

After the print was made, the students took a field trip to Flemington DIY where they were able to learn about the screen-printing process from Bryan, a professional, and they were able to give it a try themselves, screen-printing posters to sell at school.

All proceeds from sales go to the Achieve’s class fund, helping students with disabilities become work-place ready
