Light and Bright

Help me give my students ring lights, microphone stands, a stapler, sticky notes, and pencils to use in our media class. The Kleenex paper towels and dispenser will help to keep our equipment clean and our students healthy.

My Project

In order to start our school news program, we need the proper equipment. Little by little, we are trying to acquire all that we will need. The requested lights and stands will help us with our audio and video recording. The lights and mic stands will make our recordings easy to see and hear. This improves the quality and helps students to get their message out. The post-its and pencils will help students to jot down any ideas that they have for stories. The long stapler will help students to create booklets when that is their chosen form of media. Finally, hand towels are helpful in any classroom. The dispenser will ensure that germs aren't spread and the towels are much more absorbent when we have spills.

Our students have powerful ideas.

With your help, we can help students to get their ideas out to others.
