We are grateful to have received grant funding for a banner welder and sublimation equipment, which have enhanced hands-on learning in our Graphic Arts program at Carrollton Area Career Center.
 
Students used the banner welder to design, produce, and finish custom banners that will be displayed throughout downtown Carrollton, gaining experience with industry-standard techniques while contributing to the community.
 
Additionally, students used the sublimation printer and heat press to create custom coasters and bandanas for preschool participants in the Teddy Bear Clinic, focusing on design transfer and production skills while creating meaningful takeaways for the children.
 
Attached photos highlight students actively engaged in both projects and showcase their completed work. Thank you for supporting real-world learning opportunities that connect students to their community.
