From Amity Regional School District: ORANGE, CT — The Pulsera Project was a fundraiser facilitated by Ms. Stephanie Sanchez’s (8th grade Spanish teacher) advisory group at Amity Middle School in Orange.

Artisans from Guatemala and Nicaragua sent handmade bracelets and cross-body bags to be sold to help provide education, clean water, and housing to the people in those countries.

The advisory group was able to raise over $800 selling the items during lunch waves.
