Printer Blues, Help Us Get a New One!

Help me give my students the opportunity to do projects, receive notices home, and activity calendars. Our printer is broken and we rely on it so much for student work as well as communication with families.

My Project

In this preschool class, much of the learning is through play and projects. The students cut, color, glue, fold, and so much more but many of these projects start with an idea and template that needs to be printed! Our printer recently broke and much of our printing is now being done at home from personal printers and ink supplies.

We utilize the printers not only for student projects but also communication with families.

We print activity calendars for our bulletin boards and for students to bring home. We use the printer to send home important notices about sickness and health as well as upcoming field trip information. If we get a report about a certain illness like strep or covid we'd like to get notices printed the same day so families are aware but when we are doing our printing from home this is difficult to do.

Please help us bring a working printer back into our class. This will benefit the students, families, and staff!
