Project Runway - New Hampton High School
The 2018 year began with the launch of McElroy grant projects. New Hampton High School students are working through J-Term projects from now until January 17th. Of them is Project Runway, a fashion design option featuring new designs as well as upcycled thrift outfits. We will keep checking in to see the final products!
