Crochet is More Than Okay

This year Messmer High School offers a variety of new clubs. One of these is Crochet Club.

Senior Jamila Hightower is the creator and president of the club, and Theology teacher Mrs. Abby Demeter is the faulty advisor. The Crochet Club’s goal is to provide sleeping bags for the homeless using plastic bags that were collected beginning last year. It's about doing something good, and developing skills or learning new ones. 

When asked why Crochet Club is enjoyable, freshman Ti’ara Robinson replied, “It’s good teamwork and I’m helping the homeless.” Another student, senior A’Mariah Edwards added, “I learned how to tie bags and cut them; it was fun.”  Jamila stated her reasons behind creating the club, "I get a joy out of teaching something I know and I’m helping the homeless.”

Crochet Club is a great way to help the community and have fun in the process. The skills you learn are useful beyond the plastic sleeping bags. 

Crochet Club meets every Thursday at 3:15 in room 113. Please see Mrs. Demeter or Jamila Hightower for questions. 

See you there!
