My Project

A laminator is an essential classroom tool that benefits all students—across grade levels and learning styles—by turning materials into durable, engaging, and interactive resources. In an elementary setting, hands-on and visual learning tools are powerful, and a laminator helps bring these tools to life in a long-lasting, reusable, and accessible way.

Laminated items like alphabet cards, math games, behavior charts, center instructions, and classroom visuals can be used repeatedly, hold up in busy classrooms, and allow students to practice skills tactilely.

These resources support every learner—from those needing extra reinforcement to students ready for enrichment. By pairing laminated materials with dry erase markers, we create reusable activities students can use again and again. This supports differentiated instruction and fosters independence and confidence as students build skills.

A new laminator will help us create long-lasting learning tools that reach every student and help move them forward. Your support will directly impact making our classrooms more accessible, engaging, and effective for all learners.

Our elementary school is a 3K–5th grade school in the heart of a close-knit, rural community in Northern Mississippi. Our school is home to a diverse group of curious, creative, and resilient learners. Our teachers provide a nurturing environment where every student can grow academically, socially, and emotionally.

Our school pride runs deep, and we believe we are Mississippi’s best-kept secret—since earning the distinction of being the first Science of Reading School in Mississippi, meaning we use research-based practices intentionally implemented to provide high-quality literacy instruction.

At our school, we live by our motto: “Be ready, respectful, and responsible.” We believe in the power of relationships, the strength of community, and the potential of every child to succeed. Our community partnerships are valued and play a vital role in our mission and enriching the educational experience for all students.
