Always Cold Ice Packs in a Distraction Free Zone

Help me give my students these Amazon Basics Noise-Reduction Safety Earmuffs Ear Protection to give them the quiet they need to do their best work, and this BLACK+DECKER BCRK32B Compact Refrigerator to always have ice packs ready.

FULLY FUNDED! Mr. Bader's classroom raised $942

My Project

All students deserve to have a calm and quiet setting to do their work and ear coverings will help ensure that students with special needs will not be forced to work in a setting where they have trouble focusing. Sometimes all that's needed is a little extra quiet and with these ear coverings, they will have what they need to do this.

Students always need ice packs and a minifridge/freezer combo will ensure that when emergencies arise, we will have ice packs cold and ready for them.

Your help in making this happen is greatly appreciated.
