My Students

I am a Spanish 1 high school teacher in an inner-city school with students who come from all over the city. I teach at a CTE school so my students earn both a high school diploma and certifications in their field of study. Since the school specializes in career and technology, the funds for academic classes are very limited. We are starting our hybrid model due to the pandemic and my students have shown their dedication to learning through their hard-work and perseverance during this past year.

My Project

Creativity is embraced when safety is met! The requested bulletin board rack and cutter will provide my students and I with a safe cart to organize and transport our bulletin board paper. The rack holds 10 - 24 x 28 x 58 Inches paper rolls which will be perfect to display and store our bulletin board paper rolls.

Safety is our priority when decorating our bulletin boards!

This rack will be used by 9th graders which will ease my mind knowing that when decorating a bulletin board or getting paper for a project, my students will be safe!
