Rachel Sackett was awarded a Venture Grant by the Dragon Pride Foundation entitled The Dragon Laces Project. First-grade students are encouraged to learn the important life skill of tying their own shoes. Students who successfully demonstrate their shoe-tying skills become official members of the Dragon Laces Shoe Tying Club, receive a certificate and colorful new shoelaces, and add their name to the Dragon Laces poster. These students are now role models for their peers and can help others learn this valuable skill.
