BERKELEY COUNTY, S.C.–Miss South Carolina, Sarah Weishuhn, will visit Howe Hall AIMS on Thursday, February 12, 2015 at 1:30 p.m. to participate in the school’s Recycled Runway show.

The fashion show will feature 11 designs created and modeled by AIMS students with the final gown modeled by Weishuhn.

The gown is a “Work of Art” that features environmental pledges made by fourth-grade students. The pledges represent the choices students will make that will positively affect the environment.

The Costume Design exploratory class meets once a week and works on basic sewing skills as well as fashion design.

They purchase garments from Goodwill’s clearance center and “upcycle” them into new fashions. The Recycled Runway show is a “Kids Who Care” project and the final products will be displayed at Santee Canal State Park.

Howe Hall AIMS is a public magnet school that serves 420 Kindergarten through fifth-grade students. The school’s mission is to include the arts as an essential component of the curriculum to optimize student achievement through a variety of learning experiences that facilitate the development of students as lifelong learners and productive citizens.

In addition to the core academic subjects, the AIMS philosophy includes standards-based instruction in dance, drama, music, visual art, physical education, and Spanish.
