My Project

The use of headphones is a daily thing in all of our classrooms. Not only do headphones enable our students to learn, but they enable our students to focus when others may be a distraction. As a school, we hope to provide enough headphones for all of our K-6 students so that they and their families have less to purchase during back-to-school time. We want to encourage our students in their studies at any time.

We want to purchase headphones and rest mats for all of the students and our kindergarten students so that they all have a comfortable place to rest while they are at school.

These are our beginning learners who spend the day exploring the world around them. Many of our students come from a home that is below or at the poverty level, and as such many of our parents are unable to purchase a place for them to rest.
