Glasgow High School students visited Highland Elementary on Thursday morning to begin a collaborative project with kindergartners.

The high schoolers were paired with the younger Scotties and helped them create the design for a Tooth Fairy pillow, which they will complete over the next few weeks.

Mary Edwards said these pillows include a unique pocket.

“When the kindergarten students lose teeth, they’ll have a place to put that where the tooth fairy can easily find the tooth,” the high school culinary teacher said that she really enjoys seeing the relationships her students build with the kindergartners during this project.

Glasgow freshman Jozalynn Gonzalez said the experience has solidified her future career plans.

“Working here with the students has actually made me realize how much you should appreciate the younger generation because they’re our future,” she said. “They are so precious. I have never wanted to become a teacher so much because of this experience.

“I believe I’m gonna be a kindergarten teacher.”
