Creating School Culture

Help me give my students opportunities for collaboration among student groups (e.g., Student Council, Diversity Clubs, Peer Mentors), increase student engagement and ownership of their school environment. A Cricut cutting machine is the key item for students.

My Project

Your support of this project will not only provide a high-quality creative tool, but it will also empower students to take the lead in shaping the tone and culture of their school. The Cricut Maker will serve as a bridge between creativity, student leadership, and a stronger, more unified school community.

The goal is for students to use this material to design, develop, and create school bulletin boards rather than observing school-wide messages.

Hands-on, creative involvement directly connects to our school's vision of building a community where every student feels seen, valued, and inspired.

Our school is a thriving Title I high school serving approximately 1,500 students from diverse backgrounds. Many of our students face economic and social challenges, but they are resilient and eager to contribute to their school environment. They take pride in their school and are excited about making it a more welcoming, inclusive, and uplifting place for everyone.
