Celebrating Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

Celebrate Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

This project is a part of the Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month celebration because it supports a Latino teacher or a school where the majority of students are Latino.

My Project

Headphones are vital in our classroom each day. My students struggle to focus and complete their online assignments without functional headphones. Since headphones have a limited lifespan, we frequently need new ones. We aim to reduce headphone sharing, which has been common in past years. Ideally, each student would have their pair for the entire school year, but this is often not the case. Providing our students with reliable headphones is essential for their success and academic progress. These tools are crucial for supporting their learning and enhancing their educational experience.

My students need comfortable, durable headphones to focus and engage effectively in classroom activities.

Headphones enable learners to focus better and participate more actively in their activities. However, many of our current headphones are worn out and ineffective. To support our students' success, we need new headphones that are comfortable and suitable for all ages. Your support in helping us purchase these new headphones would significantly enhance the learning experience by providing students with reliable tools to improve their concentration and academic performance. Thank you for considering this important request.
