Ms. Driscoll Dixon's classroom raised $215

Life Isn't a Breeze

My students need 2 floor fans.

My Students

Our classroom faces the teacher black-top parking lot. It is considered the hottest classroom in the building and we don't have AC. We could really use any extra fans. Currently the classroom has two, but they pretty much focus on the center of the room. 35 hot bodies in one room....ahhh!

This school year we will have 35 bodies in the classroom.

Our school is a magnet school so we are diversified. There is quite a bit of parent involvement. In order to attend the school, parents must first apply. Like any public school, there are still financial needs that can't always be met through the school funds, nor from the parent funds.

My Project

With 2 large fans, students will be able to better concentrate on their studies. Even I will make for a better teacher! I hate to continuously ask parents from my classroom for these items; Won't you please help us out! We thank you in advance and appreciate any donations.

I don't ask for much.

I'm just trying to make our classroom more comfortable. It's one thing at a time. You are a wonderful, thoughtful person just for taking a look at our web-page. Thank you!
