My Project

What we love most about our GEMS & GENTS is their eagerness to lead, serve, and grow into role models for their peers. They take pride in their program, whether they are practicing etiquette, volunteering in the community, or representing our school at special events. Their commitment to Academic Excellence, Community Service, and Etiquette inspires us every day.

The resources we are requesting will help our students not only look the part as leaders, but also build real-world skills in creativity and design:

Cricut Explore 4 Cutting Machine Starter Bundle allows students to design and create custom T-shirts, banners, and keepsakes, giving them hands-on experience with cutting, crafting, and problem-solving.

Cricut EasyPress 2 – Raspberry, 9" x 9" safely transfers student designs onto clothing and fabric, helping students take pride in their creations.

HP Smart Tank 7602 Wireless All-in-One Ink Tank Printer with 2 Years of Ink provides vibrant printing for certificates, posters, and event materials that celebrate student achievements and showcase program milestones.

With these tools, our GEMS & GENTS will be able to create personalized items, take ownership of their projects, and celebrate their accomplishments in a meaningful way. These resources will help students build confidence, develop technical skills, and experience the joy of seeing their creativity come to life.
