Celebrating Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

Celebrate Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

This project is a part of the Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month celebration because it supports a Latino teacher or a school where the majority of students are Latino.

My Project

In 3K we make new centers for every unit that we have. Every center has materials printed on cardstock, cut out, and then laminated. These centers are preserved by laminating, so they last and don't get ruined. Some items are kept from year to year, but so many centers revolve around the children's names, and those change every year.

We use the laminating machine almost every day, whether its laminating children's work, pictures, or centers.

We had a great laminating machine, but it just broke.

Please help us fund this project so we can continue preserving and protecting the children's work.
