My Project

Students missed too much valuable in-person class time during COVID, so they need to be in school as much as possible now. As a school, we are really focusing on attendance this year. I can help with this goal by having a clean classroom so that my students don't pick up germs and have to stay home sick. I would like the materials to keep my room clean and students healthy—air purifier, face masks, cleaning wipes, rubber gloves, sanitizer, and tissues.

In addition, many of my students are just learning English, and a translator device would help me communicate with them more easily.

Finally, I work with our Student Council and need the resources to make them advertising materials and to back up these digital files.
