My Project

I'm looking for help getting a personal laminator for my classroom so that I can reuse more materials. I will use the laminator to make resources more durable for students. I can then get more use out of what I already have.

I don't have easy access to a laminator therefore by having my own I would be able to save time by having one available in my classroom.

I have seen these laminators before and they seem very high quality. I could also use the laminator to help my students make special gifts for their families.

Mrs. Bradeen will only receive her materials if this project is fully funded by November 22.
