A Breath of Fresh Air

Help me give my students an air purifier for our classroom to keep us healthy!

FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. Ahonen's classroom raised $324

This project is fully funded

My Students

We are going back to the classroom! After a year of 100% distance learning, students will be coming back into the classroom in the afternoons for academic review, intervention, social emotional learning and enrichment.

Our school is home to many different cultures, backgrounds, socioeconomic levels, and learning abilities.

The students work hard, have fun, and learn with a growth mindset. It will be so wonderful to be together again in the classroom.

My Project

This month we will be returning to the classroom! Our school will have a hybrid schedule where the first half of the day will be online teaching/learning for the whole class, then the second half of the day students will be able to come into the classroom for academic support, review, and Social Emotional Learning opportunities.

With an air purifier, our students and families will have peace of mind knowing that they are in a healthy classroom where they feel safe and the air is clean.

An air purifier will give us that added protection when we are back together at school! Thank you so much for helping!
