My Project

This project is a simple request. After years and years of using the same black and white printer, I realized that my students work so hard on various projects throughout the year that I print for them, and I think they deserve to be displayed in bright, vivid colors!

By adding a color printer to our classroom, our student work display will stand out more vividly and beautifully than before.

As technology moves more towards documents, slides, and spreadsheets, and away from pencil and paper, being able to display our online work as brightly in paper form will be helpful and motivating.
