My Students

Help us stay organized! Our school has over 1,000 children and copies of materials are hard to come by! For special assignments or notices home, teachers often need copies of materials, and we need them urgently to correlate with a lesson. A copier/printer would help us have a well-run classroom.

My students are wonderful.

They love school and take ownership in what they create. School is fun and challenging thanks to the community that fosters a value in education. Although our school is warm and friendly, we often find ourselves low on supplies. We have 1,000 students so supplies come and go even faster. This year, we've asked students to bring in reams of copy paper to make it easier. However, once copes are submitted, we must wait for days before we get our materials back. This stops us from having a cohesive assignment or project to enrich our lessons and findings. Often times, we want to print valuable tips or information for parents, students, and other faulty but have a hard time doing o because of funds.

My Project

Why do we need a copy machine? The answer is that it would complete lessons and give students full supplies and materials they need. The tedious task of copying things often wastes too much instructional time, wasting our precious moments. Students would have opportunities to write, but a copymachine would alleviate time and stress of copying, allowing children time to do more important things in school.

This is important to me because I truly believe these students deserve this chance to not feel at a loss without materials.

It will help them maintain that pride in school they foster.
