Mr. Westhoff from Los Angeles CA is requesting supplies through DonorsChoose, the most trusted classroom funding site for teachers.

A Clean Classroom Environment

My students need a vacuum cleaner for their classroom. At my school, due to funding shortages, classrooms do not get cleaned.

My Students

My students are great. They are future scholars (mostly!) and excellent citizens. They are fortunate to attend one of the most diverse schools in the country. They take advantage of this diversity and learn from each others' cultures and traditions. I especially appreciate the 10-15 students who regularly come to my room at lunch to play chess. Our school is in the heart of Los Angeles, but it also has a good neighborhood feel. I am lucky to be here!

My Project

In my years of teaching, I have noticed there is a clear link between classroom environment and student learning. A clean classroom sends the message that the work we do in class is serious and important. It sends the message that the teacher is attentive and organized. It sends the message that people care. I need help providing my students with an optimal learning environment. The school's janitorial staff does not provide room cleaning services. Our floor is constantly dirty as students track in dirt and mud from the PE field. I spend a good deal of time sweeping and mopping so I can provide a clean learning environment. A good robotic vacuum will ensure the learning environment is always maintained and clean.
