My Project

While it would be ideal for each student to bring their own headphones to last all school year, neither usually happens.

We use Chromebooks daily for reading and math support.

My students need these headphones to be successful. Being that the majority of my students come from low-income households, I do not ask students to provide their own pair of headphones. When headphones break, replacements are great to have to continue supporting my students academically!

My students need headphones that are comfortable and durable. Please help us have new headphones that fit students of all ages comfortably. This project will help replace the broken headphones in our classroom.
