My Students

The students of my self-contained classroom and ICT Classroom inspired me to do something sweet for them because they are all wonderful and eager to learn.

Our school is a Title I school which has nearly 1000 students from various and similar backgrounds, all of whom are struggling to receive the best education possible while dealing with the circumstances of living in a poor and overcrowded school district.

As a teacher, I am in desperate need of a very strong flexible stapler that works well on stapling students work, bulletin boards, student cardboard construction and displays. Staplers that are not cheaply made and will stay locked and open up every time I need them to.

My Project

My students and I desperately need staples and very strong flexible Swingline Long Reach Staplers that work well on stapling students' work and bulletin boards. We need staplers that are not cheaply made and will stay locked and opens up every time we need it too. The current two staplers we have work off and on, do not open and do not allow expansion for working with large piles of student papers, group projects or book-making.

The flexible Swingline Long Reach Stapler will be used for binding books, pamphlets, brochures or card mounting and projects like making Totem poles, columns, castles and live size three-dimensional shapes.

Donating to our stapler project will help my student groups in creating and finishing long paper and large projects. The stapled work will be organized and neat without tons of extra unwanted bends, creases, and folds, nor extra stapler holes in the papers, bulletin boards, and student cardboard construction displays.
