Breathe Easy: A Fresh Break for Our Classroom

Dear Potential Donors

Our classroom, which is connected to the school restroom, faces air quality challenges that affect our students' concentration, wellness, and overall experience. We are seeking support for our project to introduce an air purifier to transform our students' learning environment into a safer and healthier space. Air purifiers can filter out particles, odors, and pollutants, improving air quality, enhancing concentration, decreasing absenteeism due to illness, and promoting overall well-being.

Your donations will be used to purchase a high-efficiency air purifier specifically selected to handle the square footage of our classroom and effectively remove air pollutants and odors. This equipment will significantly impact every student and staff member in our classroom by providing a fresher environment that fosters a sense of care and respect for our learning space.

By supporting our project, you're investing in the wellness and education of our students. Your contribution will turn our classroom from a space of potential distraction and discomfort into a haven for education and well-being. We plan to provide regular updates to our donors on the impact of their contributions.

Please help us provide a learning environment where our students' well-being is given importance, enabling them to concentrate on their studies without worrying about unpleasant smells or inhaling harmful particles. I appreciate your support.
