My Project

My goal is to boost student involvement in school activities and events. Leadership utilizes various communication methods, with classroom posters and flyers providing a quick and effective way for students and staff to stay informed.

Help us promote school spirit and encourage active student participation including fundraising throughout campus with the ability to print large posters utilizing a plotter printer that will provide more visibility on campus.

A Plotter will remove the financial burden/obstacle that many of our students have to print shop access. Students will also be able to utilize printer for medical competitions, presenting medical case studies and so much more!
