The Brooklin Elementary School

Students in kindergarten through eighth grade wove on the EarthLoom installed at the school. They chose to weave to help and heal the Earth. They completed two weavings in two days of weaving. The finished weavings hang in the school, their messages loud and clear. The children wanted them to be there as reminders of what they had pledged, so they could check in the next year to see if they had fulfilled their goals.

Four girls volunteered to warp the EarthLoom, which was built by a school volunteer.

The children wove in their commitments to help and heal the Earth.

The finished weavings with their messages were there for the children to refer to next year, to see if they had followed through on their pledges.
