My Project

In our Portland middle school, we aspire to provide students with transformative educational experiences that prepare them for the challenges of the future. Our project on DonorsChoose aims to acquire a screen printing machine and accessories for our Innovations Class, introducing a unit on design and merchandising.

Donor support is essential for realizing this vision.

By funding this initiative, donors enable us to offer hands-on learning experiences that go beyond traditional classroom boundaries. A screen printing unit not only fosters creativity but also cultivates practical skills in design and production.

Access to state-of-the-art equipment bridges the gap between theory and practice, empowering students to experiment, innovate, and witness tangible outcomes of their ideas. This experience instills a sense of ownership and pride, motivating students to excel and explore diverse career pathways.

Moreover, the impact of donor contributions extends beyond individual skill development. By nurturing a culture of innovation, we foster a community of critical thinkers and collaborators who are poised to make meaningful contributions to society.

In essence, our project on DonorsChoose is an investment in the future. Through the generosity of donors, we can transform classrooms into hubs of creativity and ingenuity, equipping students with the tools they need to succeed in an ever-changing world. Together, let us empower the next generation through education.
