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
\n 2 – they write a note to the soldier receiving the pen that includes a message of support.
\n 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 won’t 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<\/a> it will do a much better job giving you information than I would. Also you can check out www.sawmillcreek.org<\/a> to get day to day activity about the project.
\n All of the pictures were taken while the students worked on the Freedom Pen Project.
\n 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. <\/span><\/div>\n
