2010 Knitting Olympics

Over the past week and the next week, Village School is hosting its very own Knitting Olympics along with a canned food drive. The students worked with their advisory groups to create a fictional country, flag, and anthem, and they are competing against each other to see which team can knit the most scarves. The scarves will be given to patients at the University of Virginia Cancer Center. For the canned food drive, our goal is to donate one ton of non-perishable food items for the Emergency Food Bank.
