A Cut Above the Rest

Help me give my students the ability to cut paper, cardstock, and foam board on high-quality, heavy-duty trimmers.

My Project

Students have successfully used trimmers to win awards at the History Day competition for the last three years. However, the difficulty students have is in cutting the images so they are precise and award-quality. As a result, students often reprint multiple copies of the same images and text before being able to cut something that is worthy of being on a trifold going to the History Day competition. Over a dozen projects use the trifold trimmers in making their projects each year, so even with ten trimmers, students will need to share. However, at least the quality of each cut made by the trimmer will be exact and precise, unlike what occurs now.
