My Project

My scholars deserve not only quality education but for their private records to be protected down to the tiniest shred. A new shredder will make a difference in decluttering any outdated documents in a more efficient way. My overall goal is to continue to have a neat and confidential environment for my scholars at all times.

The special education resource room is where they can come for a safe and clean space.

We know that with the installation of a new shredder and shredder bags that our scholars can and will continue to have a space of privacy and confidential updates on their IEP Goals and Objectives!
