My Project

Our students are brimming with school spirit and creativity—and now they need the tools to bring their ideas to life! We are seeking support to purchase a heat press machine, printer, ink, and vinyl so our students can design and produce custom shirts, graduation gear, and apparel for school sports and events.

From cheering on our teams to celebrating milestones like graduation, having custom-made shirts and hats helps build a strong sense of community and pride.

Students will use this equipment to design and produce apparel themselves, learning valuable skills in design, entrepreneurship, and teamwork along the way.

This project will give them hands-on experience with real-world tools and encourage them to take ownership of how they represent their school spirit. Whether it’s a senior class shirt or a game-day hoodie, each item created will reflect the creativity, hard work, and pride of our students.

We need the following items: A heat press machine, A compatible printer, Heat transfer ink, and Assorted heat transfer vinyl

These items will be housed in our classroom and used across student clubs, sports teams, and class projects. Thank you for helping us turn their ideas into wearable memories!
