My Project

I work in a large urban area school in an underserved community. Our student are excited to come to school and learn. The students at our school are energetic and eager to learn. We have very little funding for incentives or awards for our students.

Making buttons for our student may provide them with some of the recognition they deserve for jobs well done.

We originally asked for a button making machine and recieved it so our students could make awards buttons for the school, but we can’t cut a good circle to create the buttons. This paper button hole punching machine will allow us to cut perfect circle so our awards button look good not crooked. The end of the year is soon upon us and we need to make awards buttons!

These awards buttons are being created for Honor Roll, Good Citizen Awards, Student of the Month, Attendance awards and more. These awards will help inspire our student to do their very best in everything they try to accomplish. The awards button are a small token of appreciation with a big impact on our students in recognition of a job well done.
