My Project

My students are a group of high spirited and hard working individuals. They come to class everyday ready to learn, despite environmental challenges. An air conditioning unit would make a world of difference for my students. In the summer and early fall months, our classroom reaches high temperatures due to lack of central air conditioning. Our classroom is located on the third floor of a building, therefore attracting even more heat. These high temperatures make it difficult for students to focus while learning. A portable air conditioner will allow my students to stay cool and comfortable at all times of their instructional day.
