My Project

The students and teachers in our program love to save those precious creations, keeping them safe with lamination. While some projects are small, some are large and require larger machines.

Teachers and students are continuously making creations that are one of a kind, and as such, deserve to be preserved.

As the students work hard to make creations for their families, the laminator will help to protect those precious treasures. For teachers, the laminator will protect items created to support student learning, providing opportunities to foster the independence of students. Requesting this laminating machine will allow for all future creations to be saved and used for many years to come for the entire preschool program.
