Kennewick High Wins Best Overall in Project Goodwill

Congratulations to Kennewick High School's Marketing & Management and DECA students who competed in Project Goodwill on Wednesday night, winning the Best Overall category and the Best Donation Box outfit, winning a total of $700 for their DECA Chapter.

The Goodwill Industries sponsored event, Project Goodwill, is an opportunity for area high school students to showcase their creativity and compete for awards and prize money based on the creation of three outfits in specified categories.

Students designed and created outfits in three categories; Devine Demin, Donation Box, and Literacy. Additional prizes were given for Best Portfolio, Peoples Choice, and Best Marketing Plan as well as the Best Overall category.

The Devine Denim outfit was modeled by Ryley Dennis and created and designed by Katey Richins and Blair Westerman. The Donation Box outfit is an outfit made from items contained in a donation box provided by Goodwill. The outfit must contain a piece from each item in the box....even if it is not an apparel item. The Donation Box outfit was created and designed by Deborah Ramirez and modeled by Yuleni Martinez. The Literacy outfit was constructed entirely from books and magazines. Alex Simons modeled the dress and also created and designed the dress along with Michelle Meehan, Paul Martinez and Casey Brush.

Jose Magana and Fernando Ayala were MC's for the fashion show.
