To attempt to spread happiness and positivity to others, Vandegrift sophomores Tate Watson, Camille Digiaimo and Brandi Killingsworth worked together and created a positivity project called the “Ripple Effect” that was used by Kelly Killingsworth’s first grade class at Laura Welch Bush Elementary.
“We thought it would be good if we were trying to spread those ideas to them while they are young,” Digiaimo said. “Especially since we started the project the first day after break, we were giving them a new mindset for the year.”
The VHS sophomores are members of FCCLA which stands for Family, Career and Career Leaders of America. To participate and compete in this program, students must be enrolled or have taken a family consumer science course.
The “Ripple Effect” is a project intended to spread positivity to others. The first graders had a week to focus on the positive things during their days, and at the end of the week, came together and talked about how their week had been.
