My Project

I am the library media specialist at my K-12 school! I serve over 600 students in my school and teach all K-8th grade library and technology classes. The library is a busy place and has students in and out all day long. I would love to create a space in the library for student to show their creativity through button making!

This project would give a button making machine and plenty of supplies to get our button making station up and running for students to access throughout the day!

We want to help our students show their creativity, create buttons, use their voices to make the buttons, and let their personalities come through! We would also use the button making station for different events we have in the library throughout the year and so much more!
