Daniel Vosovic is a Lowell High School grad and winner of the reality TV show Project Runway who went on to found The Kit – a New York City company focused on sustainably made fast fashion.

Vosovic and others at The Kit honored their favorite educators with new clothing to start off the new year in style!

Vosovic chose MEA member Christine Beachler, the Lowell school librarian who has upheld professional standards and students’ access to reading materials despite venomous personal attacks and threats.

“She’s making sure that people have access to choose their own adventure,” Vosovic said in a video on social media announcing the project. “You’re my bright spot, Christine Beachler.”

Beachler said of her former student, “He is such a kind, compassionate and special person, and we are all so proud of his tremendous accomplishments and thoughtful spirit!”
