A Cleaner and Safer Classroom!

Help me give my students a safer and cleaner classroom with this air purifier.

FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. Ramos's classroom raised $426

My Students

Our class is a diverse group of unique individuals who come together to learn. Despite the many economic and personal challenges the children face, they come to school with the spirit and determination to learn. The majority of our students come from low-income households and shelters near the area.

They are curious and inquisitive individuals who thrive when challenged with appropriate curriculum and learning materials.

All children should have access to curriculum-enhancing materials no matter their backgrounds. Your donation will truly make the difference in their lives. Thank you so very much for your consideration!

My students are very motivated to learn and I am very proud to be their teacher. I hope to inspire them to become successful someday by instilling in them the value of hard work, patience, kindness, and perseverance.

My Project

With in-person learning scheduled to open in September, the air purifier will help provide us, teachers and students, with a cleaner and safer learning environment

Please help me provide a classroom that is clean and safe.

Nothing compares to in-person learning. With that in mind, please consider donating to our project which will provide us the much needed HEPA filtration during this pandemic. This air purifier will be used to keep the air we breathe in our classroom safe. Give us a chance to welcome back our students without jeopardizing their health.
