A Community Cricut

Help me give my students a Cricut bundle, heat press machine and extra vinyl to be able to create school logo merchandise for our classes, clubs and faculty.

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Tina Alcain's classroom raised $736

My Project

Getting class shirts or club shirts, or even a school logo shirt to wear to school is hard for us sometimes because we live in the middle of the Pacific Ocean and things are just so expensive to ship to Hawaii. This Cricut bundle will enable my students to use this awesome technology to learn how to create logos and designs to put on shirts or folders or anything that we want to personalize for students, club members and even faculty members.

Being able to print merchandise at school will give everyone an opportunity to have school spirit without breaking the bank.

As long as we have a supply of vinyl to create designs with and a machine to cut it, we will be able to create all sorts of merchandise for all sorts of people for basically free! The students will learn how to master the Cricut machine and be able to make something they will wear with pride around school and in the community.
