Cut It Up

Help me give my students scissors and fun scissors for our Maker Space.

FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. Schlein's classroom raised $262

This project is fully funded

My Project

Our school has created an amazing Maker Space Lab in which our students can design and create. We are trying to gather materials to make sure there are enough materials for all students to participate. We are in need of student scissors for both left handed and right handed students.

We also thought it would be fun to have fun edging scissors available for student use.

These materials will provide students years of use as they design and make projects. Your support of our new Maker Space is greatly appreciated!
