My Project

Having access to equipment that can change our students' learning environment is one of our many goals. We are fortunate to have unlimited access to a black and white printer at school, and in order to “brighten things up”, we print what we can in color from our own printers from home (when our printers choose to cooperate). We are asking for donations towards a color printer and ink supplies in order to enhance our Pre-K students’ learning experience. This will provide colorful, visual aids for all 4 Pre-K classrooms in our school. This bold, vibrant color will offer so much more engagement in displaying daily activities, small group instruction, learning centers, anchor charts, and so much more.

According to an Epson article (January 26, 2022), “study after study shows that color-printed educational materials make for brighter students.

In fact, using color in lessons and handouts has been found to increase attention spans by 82%, and learning and retention by 78%. Colorful materials are also 80% more likely to be read and can boost comprehension by 73%.” 

We are really looking forward to using this color printer for a rich colorful environment for our students. Thank you in advance for any amount you are able to contribute!
