Small with a Big Message

Help me give my students a small button maker to use for marketing and incentives.

FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. Gordon's classroom raised $194

This project is fully funded

My Project

My students are creative, hard working, and resourceful. They come to our Magnet School from all over our district. To prepare them for a diverse world, we aim to provide a variety of tools and resources they can use creatively. This button maker will provide for their needs in a variety of ways. First of all, it will allow for creating student incentives, such as buttons for awards, and we can even turn student drawings and art into buttons. This button maker will also allow students to help with marketing the school. A Magnet School has to look for creative ways to share the logo and keep the school visible. With this new tool, we will be able to make and share buttons with visitors and perspective students and their families.
