IMPORTANT: Do not begin this project if you cannot commit to finishing it.
Take one of the black canvases from the shelf.
Plan out your design and sketch it in using pencil. The focus of your design should be "Welcome Home!" You can decorate the rest of it as you like to make it your own.
Use the Posca paint markers to add color to your design.
When finished with your design, you can add your name and "Created by students at Orchard Park Middle School" to the back of the canvas.
After it is all done, turn it in so it can be delivered to a new house dedication!

Where does your sign go?
We have partnered with Habitat for Humanity - Buffalo for these welcome home signs. Your sign will be part of the dedication when families are able to move into their new home.
Some information about Habitat for Humanity from their website:
What is Habitat for Humanity?
Habitat for Humanity is a nonprofit housing organization working in local communities across all 50 states and in more than 70 countries around the world. Habitat’s vision is of a world where everyone has a decent place to live. Habitat works toward this vision by building and improving homes in partnership with individuals and families in need of a decent and affordable place to live.
How does Habitat for Humanity’s homeownership program work?
Families and individuals in need of decent, affordable housing apply for homeownership with their local Habitat for Humanity.
Each local Habitat’s family selection committee selects homeowners based on three criteria:
The applicant’s level of need.
Their willingness to partner with Habitat.
Their ability to repay a mortgage through an affordable payment plan.
As part of their willingness to partner, Habitat’s homebuyers invest hundreds of hours of their own labor, called sweat equity, working alongside volunteers and other Habitat homeowners.
Habitat for Humanity follows a nondiscriminatory policy of family selection. Neither race nor religion is a factor in choosing Habitat’s homeowners.
