What's the Ellison LetterMachine? |
 |
The ownership of the patented Ellison LetterMachine, the original letter and shape cutting system, is shared by participating member schools through the Valley City Area Teacher Center. These schools have chosen to become partners in this project by pooling dollars to purchase the equipment and a growing library of dies. The Teacher Center prepares an annual travel schedule for the two Ellison LetterMachines along with a selection of dies to visit area schools throughout the school year. The two machines and dies library spend summers at the Teacher Center and can be used by VCSU and area educators. Communications related to use of the Ellison LetterMachines should be made with the Teacher Center at (701) 845-7221 or sandy.zahn@sendit.nodak.edu |
