The purchase of laminators for the middle and high school teachers' lounges will allow those teachers to laminate individual sheets of paper. This lamination allows students to write on these papers with dry-erase markers and then erase, eliminating the need for continuous copies of regularly used materials. It also allows teachers to laminate materials that are used as visual aids on walls or on desks, extending the lifespan of these items tremendously. To supplement these laminators, we were also able to purchase boxes of lamination sheets, so teachers do not need to go out and purchase their own.\r\nIn the early learning center, teachers received a guillotine paper cutter to support the making of phonics materials or to cut materials for centers or parent communication. They also requested, and were granted, two pairs of adult-sized scissors to be kept in the lounge and checked out by teachers or paraeducators. \r\nWe thank you for your support as we raised money for these items. Our students will have longer-lasting, interactive materials, and our educators will be able to create items that can last years, cutting down on the time required to create and copy these materials over and over again.
