My Project

With your generous donation of a heat press to use with our Cricut machine, we can nurture creativity and inspire future artists, designers, and makers. Our students are brimming with untapped potential, needing only the tools and encouragement to unlock their talents. Please help us put more materials for imagination into their hands and minds.

Our 4th graders are tech-savvy and very eager to participate in project-based learning.

This heat press machine will allow them to turn their own designs into vinyl cutouts, which will make their ideas come to life. We will be able to use this multiple times throughour the school year in addition to creating projects for holidays and end of school year events!
