FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Zehr's classroom raised $524

My Project
Help! Our button machine broke! We have button supplies...but not the button maker. The high school library would like to once again provide students with the opportunity to use a button machine.
This allows students to be creative and innovative!
Students will generate designs and see a tangible outcome. They will use these personalized designs to make individual buttons in our makerspace area. The button making process gives students an outlet for their emotional well-being and supports individual projects.
These buttons will be used for positive incentives during different celebration months and schoolwide activities, as well.
