Learner Spotlight – Monica Sexton

Monica Sexton is a sixth-grade iLEAD learner. She takes classes such as drama and sewing at Impact. Monica, who likes to be creative, was asked to share a little about her awesome learning adventure. In her sewing class, her first project was to make a king-size pillow case. She says, “I chose a cotton fabric with teal blue and gold flowers. I picked that fabric because I really liked it and it matched my grandma’s bed. I am going to give it to her. It was not very hard to make, and it turned out great, so I am going to make more for my sister and anyone else who wants one. Mrs. Orr, who is my sewing and drama teacher, gives me great advice. I hope to be able to make my own outfit with my sewing skills. I am happy to know how to use my sewing machine and to be able to use it on my own. I’d like to help my friends learn how to sew, too!”
