My Project

I want to express my gratitude for your support of our educational initiatives. As I work to enhance my classroom environment, I see an urgent need for technology that can significantly impact my students' learning experiences.

The addition of new sets of headphones will revolutionize how my 6th graders engage with the curriculum.

These headphones will allow students to watch videos that support their learning, fostering an interactive and immersive educational experience. With 145 students passing through my classroom daily, and often managing up to 35 at once, these tools will be instrumental in creating a focused learning atmosphere.

In our lower-class neighborhood, these children are eager to learn and deserve the same opportunities as those in more affluent areas. I am committed to staying humble and appreciate any community support that can help bridge this gap. Thank you for considering this important investment in our students' futures.
