\nProject Description:<\/p>\n
Detroit Waldorf School (DWS) is a 501(c)(3) non-profit independent school in Detroit, Michigan whose mission is to provide Pre-K-8th grade Waldorf education to a diverse student body in Detroit. Annually, DWS serves approximately 250 students, 65% residing in Detroit and 35% from surrounding Southeast Michigan communities. Since 1966, DWS has educated more than 12,000 students and has been a leader in fostering the development of moral and self-confident individuals who go on to lead meaningful lives. <\/p>\n
DWS is requesting a grant of $4,100 from The Charles and Joan Hermanowski Family Foundation for our handwork program. Our robust handwork curriculum benefits all students (PreK-8th grade) and includes knitting, crocheting, embroidery, fine hand sewing, felting, paper crafts, pattern design, machine sewing, and woodworking. Handwork brings balance between intellectual and movement activities, allowing students to experience the struggle, joy, and care required in the creative process. The rhythmic repetition of knitting and crocheting strengthens a child’s concentration and hand-eye coordination. It also enhances math skills through counting rows and stitches, measuring out patterns, and creating three-dimensional items. Children learn to fix their mistakes and value quality, utility, and hard work. The joy of accomplishment as the children complete increasingly difficult tasks in small steps, creates the self-confidence necessary to tackle much larger tasks in their future academic and professional lives.<\/p>\n
A grant from the Foundation will help DWS strengthen our rich handwork curriculum for over 250 students and two dedicated handwork teachers. Requested funds would specifically be used to support handwork materials. DWS expects to achieve the following outcomes for our handwork programming in 2022: 1) provide an immersive handwork curriculum for over 250 students, 2) support DWS\u2019s two handwork teachers with their instruction, and 3) offer students at least three new handwork activities\/opportunities. <\/p>\n
