Director's Notes
Companion (6th grade) information

Second semester the Companions will be earning the Basic Sewing Honor. Their project will be to complete a SonRise costume to use for the March 31 Pageant. (Pathfinders have a booth in the Marketplace and by participating they are fulfilling community outreach Companion classwork requirements.)
We are asking Pathfinders to provide their own fabric. When choosing fabric, choose solids and stripes...no flowers or unusual designs. Sheets may be bought at a linen outlet. (A twin-size flat sheet will make one costume.) Joann’s and Wal-Mart also have some good deals on their sale tables (3 yards of fabric should be enough for one costume). Sometimes the Samaritan Center or other thrift stores have material. Old tablecloths and curtains also work. (Try to stay away from silky/slick and knit/t-shirt type fabric as they are harder to sew.) If providing fabric will be a hardship for you, let me know.
Please have fabric by January 10th. We have scheduled 3-4 nights to work on the honor.
WE ALSO NEED SEWING MACHINES AND HELPERS!! It’s best to have one machine for each Pathfinder. If you have a machine and if you’re able to come with it and help please email me at jlazev@southern.edu or text me at 423-488-6917. (It’s always better to have someone who knows their machine helping the Pathfinder who is using it.).

Home Expectations

As we begin a new Pathfinder experience with your Pathfinder we don't want to overwhelm you with information, but we do want you to be informed about what we will be doing throughout the year, as well as make you aware of what your young person will need to do "at home". As you get the items done, please send a not saying that they have finished it. See the attachment on the unit page.
