Authors Away, Here to Stay!

Help me give my students a way to showcase their creating and authoring books! The TIANSE Spiral Coil Binding Machine will give them the opportunity to become published authors!

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Winkler's classroom raised $728

This project is fully funded

My Project

The students in my class are prolific writers and artists. They have many talents for which they need to be showcased. They are always wanting to spend time writing and drawing about any subject I am teaching.

With this project being funded, the students will be actual publised authors!

The TIANSE Spiral Coil Binding Machine will be used for students to make publised books to share with other classrooms, the Public Library, family, churches, and friends.

The students are excited to get to work on their own book in the genres of their preference. Please consider helping them!
