My Project

My students are eager learners and are in need of headphones for daily use along with a place to store their headphones. The durable folders are to needed to help transport papers and materials between home and school.

The headphones will allow my students to be full engaged in their learning, while working online during morning work and during small group.

A lot of my students are from low income families and can't afford a new pair of headphones. I would like to be able to provide each student with a fully functioning pair of headphones.
