Laminating Machine Needed

Help me give my students a laminating machine to help create lasting memories and permanent pieces for display.

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Dallas's classroom raised $206

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

My students create the most wonderful work. They are hard workers and love to see their masterpieces displayed. Having a laminator in the classroom would be such a help. Being able to laminate their STEM work, charts, resources and artifacts helps the students to be successful.

This laminator would allow me to laminate more items to display for instruction and praise.

The laminator would allow for me to laminate papers and the students could use them over and over again without having to print and waste paper.

Having a laminator in a STEM classroom is a necessary and worthwhile item to assist with learning and instruction.

Ms. Dallas IS 77 Joseph F Quinn School Grades 6-8
