My Project

Button making will be a powerful tool for my students! It will allow my students to express themselves creatively and spread awareness for about important causes. They can create buttons with messages related to certain issues that they face including but not limited to, environmental issues, speaking out against hunger and/or school spirit.

the Button Making Machine, paper and other supplies will allow my students to have a tangible representation of their ideas and encourages them to share their thoughts with others.

It will also give my students a platform to show off their artistic creativity! Plus, wearing the buttons can spark conversations and inspire others to get involved too!

Mrs. Carter
Grades 6-8
    More than three‑quarters of students from low‑income households

    This project will reach 228 students.
