RCHS students were introduced to the idea of upcycling by Ms. Gwenn Lance in their Apparel I class. Upcycling, also known as creative reuse, is the process of transforming by-products, waste materials, useless, or unwanted products into new materials or products of better quality or for better environmental value (source: Wikipedia).
Ms. Lance's Apparel Design I class is off to a great start as evidenced by the picture above. Ms. Lance's students created patchwork potholders. Her Apparel Design students did everything from design work to pattern making, cutting and sewing. Really nice work!
Ms. Broadnax's Foods I students recently presented information regarding the importance of safe food preparation in order to avoid serious illness. Ms. Bropadnax's students worked in groups to create posters and PowerPoint presentations that detailed some of the common causes of food poisoning
