  • Heat Press

    Funded May 12, 2025

    On behalf of the Eastside High School CORE Graphics and EG Graphics students, I would like to thank you for funding our new heat press. In this 4th semester, before school is over, my students will have created marketing plans, websites--and with the new heat press, product designs which will be printed onto reusable tote bags!”

    With gratitude,

    Mr. Sledge

  • 17-inch Laptop Computer

    Funded Feb 15, 2025

    I am speechless (and that’s no easy task). My students are blessed to have an angle looking over them. I can’t wait until it arrives so that I see the look on her face when she receives it. You are truly a blessing to the students at Eastside High School!”

    With gratitude,

    Mr. Sledge

  • Refunding of Magic Graphics

    Funded Jan 30, 2025

    Graphic design has long been a part of education, but in my classroom, it goes beyond the basics. My students learn not just the fundamentals—techniques, applications, and career paths—but the entire process of creating, developing, producing, publishing, and promoting graphic novels. This expands their career possibilities beyond traditional graphic design, giving them new avenues for artistic expression and introducing a real, immediate revenue stream they can tap into now.

    What makes this project truly special is the hands-on experience my students gain. Once they complete the publishing stage, I guide them through the promotional side of the industry. They don't just print their graphic novels in full color—they also develop their personal brand and create merchandise like T-shirts, bags, mugs, and posters to support their work.

    One student, in particular, is taking this project to the next level. She has created a 34-page graphic novel set to launch in May, exploring the powerful and often-overlooked story of a young girl growing up with an undiagnosed mental health condition. Her work will pioneer a new genre of graphic novels, secure a place in the Paterson Public Library, and be featured in a four-stop Barnes & Noble book signing tour. Plus, her novel will be available through Amazon Books, giving her work a national platform.

    This is an exciting moment at Eastside High School—and we're only just getting started. Thank you for supporting these students as they break new ground and create real opportunities for their futures!”

    With gratitude,

    Mr. Sledge
