My Project
As the athletic director at a middle school, I work daily to support our student-athletes in more ways than just coaching. From organizing team logistics to celebrating students’ achievements, a reliable printer is an essential tool for our success.
We use our printer constantly—for game schedules, travel forms, rosters, grade checks, and motivational materials like team shoutouts and awards.
It’s not glamorous, but without printer ink, these vital behind-the-scenes operations come to a halt.
This project will fund several ink cartridges so we can continue to keep families informed, ensure compliance with eligibility standards, and most importantly, recognize the incredible hard work of our student-athletes. These small, printed touches—like a certificate of improvement or a newsletter with their name—go a long way in helping students feel proud, seen, and motivated.
Thank you for helping our teams thrive both on and off the field!
