My Project

My students have been passionately creating their own books to take home at the end of the year. But with my laminator out of commission, I need a new one to ensure their stories are protected and cherished for years to come.

Help Young Authors Preserve Their Hard Work!

Fresh markers will make their illustrations pop, and these new supplies will help them finish the year with a bang!

With your support, my students can take home a lasting memory—one they’ll treasure for a lifetime. Let’s give them a year to remember!
