My Project

I want to take a moment to express my gratitude for your consideration of my project!I am reaching out to seek your assistance with an issue we are facing in our classroom.

The Chromebook charging cords have become quite tangled, resembling a pile of spaghetti in the corner of our rug.

While my students are diligent about keeping our classroom clean, the cords often create a mess that makes it difficult for them to find their chargers when they need to charge their devices.

I believe that establishing a designated charging station would be beneficial. This would not only provide each student with an assigned spot for their charger but also help keep our floor clear of cords, thereby ensuring a safer environment and reducing the risk of trips.

I appreciate your consideration of this request and any support you can provide to help us eliminate our "cord"nundrum!
