Help me give my students display boards and borders so they can prepare for their class business plan competitions.

My students are great! They are engaged, positive, and intrigued by the opportunities of the Career and Technology Education (CATE) department.
At my school, the students are from various backgrounds, including those who are Air Force or Army dependents from the local base and others who are children of migrant farmworkers.
Some of them are living in abject poverty, some are from middle-level income families, and some students are members of families who have attended this school over several years.
I'm proud of the fact that these students come together and support each other regardless of socioeconomic status, race, culture, or any other category. They exhibit a willingness to peacefully coexist here in this school, and it sometimes even outshines that of the faculty and staff. During this time of the Covid-19 pandemic, it's even more important that they have learned to coexist in a virtual and hybrid format, as difficult as it may be at times.
That's what makes teaching these students special and assures me that whatever they learn, they will take with them to use in their future educational and career choices.
As the sole Entrepreneurship teacher at my school, the business plan competitions are the culmination of my students' experiences and learning from the course.
My goal is to make the process as realistic as possible, especially since many of my students actually do go on to start their businesses.
This includes having them deliver an elevator pitch, along with an electronic presentation of their business ideas. Each student must also create a display board to showcase their product or service.
Receiving the display boards and borders will make it easier for those students who might not otherwise be able to afford these materials.
