My Project

My students have recently started a cheerleading team. They need two Cricut machines to make this happen. My students need to be able to show their school spirit and school pride. They have been awarded a Cricut Heat Press that has be used to support the uniform designs. This project will allow my students to express how creative they are through designs. This project will spark an interest in allowing my students to be able to showcase their talents through creative design. The cricut is a die cutting machine that my students need in order to cuttheir custom designs and letters.
