My Students

Do you know what it's like to see your work printed, bound and published? My kids don't, but a binding machine will allow them to gain confidence with their writing and illustrating.

I have a wonderful group of 19 kindergarten students who I teach at a charter school.

They are smart, energetic, inquisitive and fun. They love to draw, write, discover and feel like stars! They make me eager and happy to go to work each morning and see their smiling faces.

My Project

My students need a binding machine and combs to create books of their work during the school year. A binding machine will allow me to easily publish student work and create individual books, class books, calendars, memory books, etc. This will no doubt give them an added confidence boost that is extremely important in the primary grades. By laying this foundation early, you are helping to grow engaged learners for years to come.

Help a student realize a dream to be an author or an illustrator!

Help them realize that they are important and the work they do does matter! Help me help them to be successful!
