Empower Learning With the Gift of Sound

Help me give my students a class set of headphones that will transform how they learn.

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Thurlow's classroom raised $197

My Project

Imagine being a student eager to learn but struggling to keep up because the tools you need aren’t available. This is the reality for the students in my 10th-grade classroom, particularly those with reading disabilities who thrive with auditory support.

I’m seeking your help to fund a class set of headphones that will transform how my students learn.

These headphones will be used with adaptive reading programs, audiobooks, and other tools that make reading accessible and engaging for all learners.

For students with reading challenges, headphones aren’t just a convenience—they’re a lifeline. They create a personalized learning experience, reduce distractions, and empower students to access materials in a way that works for them. By providing this essential resource, you’ll be helping to level the playing field and ensure that every student, regardless of their abilities, has an equal chance to succeed.

Your support will directly impact students in our classroom, fostering a love of learning and building confidence that will last a lifetime. Together, we can give these students the tools they need to thrive.

Thank you for considering this opportunity to make a difference!
