My Students

Our school is located in a beautiful coastal community. The students that attend our school come from various backgrounds, ability levels and experiences. Our school serves children from all backgrounds and languages. We serve a high number of English as a Second Language Students. We are a Title One, high poverty school.

My kindergarten class this year consists of 16 kids.

My Project

The use of these headphones will make a huge difference in my students' learning. The headphones will be used to help my students focus in on their assignments and activities when using their ipads. Throughout the year, their headphones break and replacements are always needed. A class set of headphones will allow my students to keep working when theirs stop working! These headphones will be available for use at home and at school as needed. Thank you for your consideration in donating to this project for my awesome kiddos! Thanks!
