Make Learning Last: A Laminator for Our School

Help me give my students durable, reusable learning materials with a professional laminator that will protect instructional resources for years to come.

Ms. Harris Rochelle Middle School

Kinston, NC Grades 6-8

My Project

My students deserve learning materials that can withstand the hands-on, everyday use that comes with middle school. Our media center serves as a place where students read, research, create, collaborate, and build skills they will use across every subject area. It also supports teachers throughout our school with resources that strengthen classroom instruction.

Unfortunately, our school's laminator recently stopped working, leaving us without a reliable way to protect the instructional materials we create and use with students.

This project will provide a professional-grade roll laminator and laminating film so that learning resources can be protected, reused, and shared for years instead of constantly being replaced.

From literacy and research activities to task cards, instructional visuals, signs, student-created resources, and materials for interactive learning, lamination helps us turn everyday paper resources into durable tools students can use again and again.

A laminator may seem like a simple piece of equipment, but its impact reaches far beyond one lesson or one classroom. Your support will help us preserve valuable instructional resources, reduce waste, and ensure our students and teachers continue to have access to engaging, high-quality learning materials throughout the school year.

This project will directly impact historically underfunded classrooms.
