Freedom
Pen Project Pens made with PSI kits
& blanks
As
of today students have completed over 100 pens for the project
and continue to produce more pens almost everyday. Each student
manufactures a pen for themselves that is part of the curriculum
and participation in the Freedom Pen Project is voluntary. I
have two requirements to be part of the program 1 the
student contributes to the pen making process and
2 they write a note to the soldier receiving the pen
that includes a message of support.
We got involved in the project because I am a member of the
Saw Mill Creek woodworking forum and that is where the project
originated. I wont take the time to explain what the project
is about, there is a web site that I would encourage you to
look at www.freedompens.us it will do a much better job giving
you information than I would. Also you can check out www.sawmillcreek.org
to get day to day activity about the project.
All of the pictures were taken while the students worked on
the Freedom Pen Project.
The Freedom Pen Project is a great service learning program
for our students. It allows our young people to really connect
with our soldiers that are doing an incredible job for our country.
