My Project

For my project, "Do It Now, Love It Later", I am requesting materials such as bags, a laminator, storage bins, etc. that will help my students organize and protect their work. What a joy it is for adults to come across work they did as a child. What memories it brings back.

With this project, I hope to emphasize to my students how important it is to do their best with work that will endure.

Your funding will help me provide a means to protect and save their work so that they can share it for years to come.

Ms. Ruffin
Grades 6-8
