As students and staff transition back into the classroom, there will be new and unprecedented needs. The health and safety of my students is my biggest priority and I can only continue teaching the curriculum knowing that these are met! I want my students to feel safe in their classroom, and I think this air purifier and the filter will be a great step towards achieving that goal. Keeping the air we breathe in the classroom filtered is crucial for good health, especially in the midst of a pandemic. The air purifier will be used daily in the classroom to ensure the good health of myself and my students. The filter replacement will ensure that the air purifier will effectively purify the air the entire school year. I am looking forward to being back in the classroom with my students once again, but I am wary of the health consequences it may come with. This air purifier and HEPA filter help to ease some of my concerns as well as some of the concerns of parents and students as we shift back to face-to-face instruction.
