My Students

I am currently teaching science to 6th and 7th-grade students. Distance learning has made it almost impossible for students to have uninterrupted experiences. Many of our students live in homes with multiple siblings, so staying focus is a chore for them.

My Project

My students are at home. Most students have parents who are working from home or siblings who are currently logging in to do their own remote learning. Your gift of headphones will help my students tune out the sounds of home for a few minutes and be able to escape into the world of school. Many students are dealing with the ravishes of this pandemic and a few minutes of focus on their education will provide them with a much-needed reprieve.

With your thoughtful gift of headphones, my students will be able to, if only for a few minutes take to find a safe haven from the reality of the pandemic.

Help me to provide purpose and normalcy during this time.
