Starting the Year Off Right!

My Project

I have students who stay busy participating in so many organizations - speech and debate, journalism, film, theatre! We are working on projects and traveling to contests constantly. These items will be used to round out our travel kit. The chairs are handy when paired the portable table we already have to allow us to work on projects on-site. The storage cubes let us stay organized with our materials while we travel and in between contests as well. The electric scissors and rotary cutter will be used to help us prep projects for theatre and film, doing things like creating props and costumes. Lanyards will help organize task cards when we compete. To some this might look like a collection of random "stuff," but for us it is finishing up a travel kit that we have been growing and creating and will make life on the road when we are traveling for contests so much better. Thank you for your support - with your help, we are going to have the best year yet!
