Beat the Heat!

Help me give my students an air conditioner to improve our learning environment.

FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. Peoples's classroom raised $525

This project is fully funded

My Students

My students are critical thinkers who want more! Some students have had limited exposure to persevering through problem-solving and working together. They need support to thrive. They are willing to reflect, ask questions, and make mistakes.

These avid investigators are learning how to navigate the world they were given.

Every day, these students show that learning, despite challenges, is possible. They may not have made their goals yet, but they continue to amaze me with their willingness to keep moving forward.

My Project

I know my students can do more when the learning environment is conducive to learning.

Help us beat the heat so we can focus on learning.

It is hard to focus in a stuffy, hot, humid classroom. The portable air conditioner will help the classroom beat the heat and have better air circulation. Students want to learn and be ready for new experiences. The air conditioner will help the focus be on the learning and not the sweat on our brows. The students will be happy to come to our classroom without worry of the overwhelming heat,
