My Project

The items in this project will allow students a unique opportunity to try new experiences. With the Cricut machine, student projects and work can be customized to match their amazing personalities, from personalized folders and notebooks to endless crafting ideas. The Cricut machine will do wonders in developing students' creative minds.

Additionally, the pickleball nets and resources will be a great hit in our new health and fitness after school program.

Students will have a unique opportunity to try out one of the fastest growing sports in the United States.
