My Students

My students are making a choice to pursue an education in a trade. This, to me, sets them apart because they are making an effort to prepare themselves for a workplace ripe with technology and in dire need of skilled employees.

These students display the initiative, the drive, and the willingness to push themselves to meet the needs of tomorrow's industry.

I want to provide them the best equipment possible to make learning something they can focus on, not struggling to make antiquated worn-out equipment work.

My Project

Utilizing equipment that's over 20 years old, and trying to maintain the productivity with supplies like erasers and paper has been challenging during the pandemic.

Won't you help me upgrade all of the old materials that are utilized to teach our students to read rulers, and understand scale, giving them life skills they'll use from now on regardless of their chosen profession by replacing the existing plastic aged rulers/scales with better, more durable ones that are more accurate, easier to sterilize and will last for years to come?

Along with scales/rulers, the additional consumables and supplies that are used daily and depleted, need to be restocked. With your help, it will ease the burden of trying to stretch the school budget when every penny counts as we try to maintain some normalcy.
