All Strings Attached

My students need personal headphones to use with the iPads in our classroom.

FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. Thompson's classroom raised $457

This project is fully funded

My Students

Many of my students are on free and reduced lunch and come from low-income households where educational resources are very limited. The love that they have towards school and learning at such a young age, amazes me. Such love gives me the drive I need to be the best teacher for them and provide them with whatever they need to succeed.

My students walk into the classroom every day full of life, excited to learn and eager to see what is in store for them each day.

However, despite the challenges they face at home they always enter school with smiling faces and ready minds.

My Project

My students are in desperate need of headphones that they can use while using the iPads in the classroom. Providing students with individual headphones will eliminate the amount of noise in the classroom when iPads are in use. Individual headphones will also decrease germs from having to share headphones.

Students will be taught how to be responsible for their headphones, they will learn how to take care and clean their headphones on a weekly basis.

Not only will these students be able to use their headphones in the classroom, but they also can take them to the computer lab as well. Your donation will allow independence and ownership in the classroom amongst students.
