Kindergartners receive handmade coloring books

PHIL CAMPBELL — Students in Taylor Godsey’s Business Software Applications class at Phil Campbell High School recently used their design skills to bring smiles to a group of kindergarteners.

As part of a project combining creativity and community outreach, the students designed and produced original coloring books for the kindergarten class of Skye Miller at Phil Campbell Elementary School.

At the start of the year, Godsey’s students began using Canva with template- based projects before progressing to original designs.

Their earlier projects have included calendars, recipe presentations and social resumes. Once students master their skills, they complete the Canva Essentials Certification course.

For the coloring book project, each student chose a theme relatable to young children and created 20 original coloring pages without using templates.

The high schoolers printed and bound the books, then visited the kindergarten classroom on Tuesday to deliver their creations in person.

The kindergartners eagerly flipped through the pages and showed off their favorite designs, while the older students enjoyed seeing their work spark excitement and laughter among the younger children.
