Student Privacy and Success

I need the shredder to support students' privacy. We have documents with the student's name and personal information on them. This shredder would be beneficial to support student privacy needs.

My Project

The shredder would be used to support our school in making sure students' privacy is kept. We would use the shredder for student's personal work that had their name, address or other personal information on it. The shredder would be used by staff only.

It would be very beneficial to have especially with the end of the school year approaching.

The benefit of a shredder would help us clean up and make more space for students' information, homework, field trip information etc. The benefit would also be that we do not have to purchase more file cabinets and find space instead we would discard the documents that we no longer are required to keep and dispose of them in a safe manner.

With the help of your donation, we can help keep our student's privacy safe!
