"Please help me create beautiful bulletin boards to showcase student work and make my students proud of their accomplishments. I teach 6th grade English Language Arts in a high poverty school in New York.

You could never imagine the pride that beams from my students' faces when I choose their work to be showcased on one of our 5 bulletin boards. I work hard to make the bulletin boards in my classroom extraordinary so that students can set a personal goal of having their work showcased on one of them.

Because I know students will work harder to have their work displayed on an elaborate bulletin board, I spend countless hours hand cutting letters, shapes, and figures to create exciting bulletin boards for my students. A Cricut machine would do most of the work for me, allowing me to spend more time helping my students in other ways without sacrificing the excitement colorful, creative bulletin boards add to our learning environment. I'm asking for a Cricut machine, replacement blades, and a cutting board to assist in the creation of bulletin boards.

Your help will ensure that my students will continue to work toward having their work showcased on our bulletin boards.

My students need a Cricut Cutting Mat, Cricut Replacement Blades, Cricut Expression Die-Cut Machine, and Cricut Tool Kit.
