On Wednesday July 8th we had the pleasure of meeting Kaylee Weins. Kaylee is a teacher at Faribault Senior High School in Family and Consumer Science, and the faculty person overseeing the Nest.
The Nest is the result of a couple of FHS students seeing a story about a store inside the Shakopee High School. A group of students involved in the Falcon Project (a service and volunteer group of students at FHS) took the idea and ran with it. Kaylee guides and supports the students.
The Nest is a room inside of the high school unattended, but with a couple of cameras for security, that students can go to get the things they need, Logo wear, and some clothing items, school supplies and toiletries. As you may have guessed some supplies are low and the current need is for NEW in the packaging toiletries, and clothing racks to get more of the clothing supply the Nest has out for the students to choose from.
To learn more about The Nest you can check out the Faribault High school Facebook page, and there are high hopes for a dedicated Nest website this fall. Donation can be dropped off at the High School office, and monetary donations are always welcome too! Funds can be left at the office as well, attention Kaylee Weins or Joe Sage.
Kaylee is the Family and Consumer Science teacher at the High School – The Best in the Nation in fact!! Last summer she won a national award for Achievements in Family and Consumer Science. Way to Go Kaylee! Faribault is Proud to have you as a teacher and leader for our young people!!
