Laminator: A Classroom Essential That Makes Learning Last

Help me give my students a laminator and supplies to help preserve the integrity of their projects for a lifetime.

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Weaver's classroom raised $180

This project is fully funded

My Project

In a bustling elementary school, durability matters. A laminator is more than just a machine—it’s an essential tool that allows teachers to create long-lasting, reusable resources that can support learning year after year. From center activities, visual schedules, to student work, laminated materials are protected from smudges, stains, and everyday wear—ensuring that students have access to clean, sturdy resources every day. Our classroom laminator has had a great run, but it is time to put it out to greener pastures.

Help my classroom showcase their best work for years to come by supporting our project to replace our classroom laminator.

Your support protects student creativity, effort, and achievement—one page at a time.

Help us invest in a tool that supports learning, creativity, and long-term classroom success. My students deserve materials built to last!
