My Students

I work with a wonderful group of students! They walk in each day with smiles on their faces, are full of life, and ready to learn. Each day we try to find new and engaging lessons for them to explore.

We want to continue to challenge them and provide them with the engaging activities they deserve!

I believe it's extremely important to have them keep their enthusiasm, continue to inspire others, collaborate with their peers, and develop a growth mindset.

My Project

I would like to purchase an air purifier. It will emove airborne particles and odors in our classroom. It offers a four stage filtration with a True HEPA filter and AeraSafe antimicrobial treatment works to get rid of allergens, viruses and from our environment, while a carbon filter and PlasmaTrue technology aid in particulate capture and odor removal. A built-in sensor detects air quality and automatically adjusts the four-speed fan, and a handle makes it easy to transport this air cleaner from room to room.

This would be a wonderful addition to our classroom and help us all breathe better!
