My Project

We need a portable laminating machine and sheets to keep our resources in good condition. We also need to keep our environment inviting and beautiful. Your donations will not only enhance the classroom environment but would also inspire my students to come to school every day knowing that they have durable material to use in the classroom.

The laminating machine and the laminating pouches will be used to keep our materials sturdy and durable which will allow us to use them overtime.

The letter cut-outs and borders will be used to decorate our board making our classroom beautiful and inviting. All these materials will support the various activities we do in the classroom.
