Breath Easier

Help me give my students a clean environment during allergy season in order to breath easier.

My Project

Due to allergy season it is important to prioritize health and healthy breathing. Having an air purifier as a tool will help to suck out and clean some of the germ filled air, and hopefully prevent some sicknesses from spreading!

As you all know, having students at school and healthy is half of the battle, so if we can do our part at school to help clean the classroom having air purifiers will improve focus and concentration levels, enhance comfort in the classroom, and prevent the spread of the illness.
