FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. Batdorf's classroom raised $447

This project is fully funded

My Project

Our students have powerful voices and many stories to share. Next school year, we will have a new media class that will focus on students sharing the stories that mean something to them.

Students can use videos, podcasts, booklets, flyers, or any other mode of media to share their stories.

We also want to do daily morning announcements to share the important events, lessons, and activities that are taking place in our school and community. The requested podtrak recorder will allow up to four people to record a podcast. The batteries and memory card will be used to power the device. The bluetooth adapter will allow students to conduct remote interviews. The cleaning supplies will help us to keep our classroom, and the equipment in it, clean for us to use.

With your help, our students can find out how powerful their voices are as they learn how to create meaningful change.
