Ellison Dies: Allow you to cut basic shapes, letters, and numbers as well as animals, flowers, food, and other fun shapes without the hassle of regular scissors. The die presses allow up to 3 shapes to be cut at a time using construction paper but will also cut poster board, felt, and magnetic material. 
Lamination: Our laminator can handle mostly any job, big or small. With a span of 26 inches wide we can laminate anything from name tags to posters. 
Educational Resources: We have a collection of magazines, journals, activity books, and thematic units on almost every subject. We also offer grade specific materials for Early Childhood through Middle School. 
Dry Mount Equipment: This equipment is used to mount pictures onto tag board. It makes the pictures more durable for use year after year. 
Opaque Projector: For those of us who cannot draw very well but can trace with relative ease, this machine was made for us! The opaque projector reflects an image onto the wall much like an overhead projector does. It will also enlarge the image to fit your needs. 
Copy Machine: Panther Card or coin operated, this is the only copy machine available to students in the building. 
Transparency Machine: The transparency machine will make a clear copy of your material for overhead projection.
