Classroom Fan

Help me give my students a classroom environment where they can learn without being stifled by the heat!

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Chatwani's classroom raised $190

Celebrating Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

Celebrate Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

This project is a part of the Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month celebration because it supports a Latino teacher or a school where the majority of students are Latino.

My Project

In East Oakland, some days have surpassed 90 degrees Fahrenheit, and my students have to stand near the windows just to catch their breathe, especially after PE.

This fan would allow our classroom of 20+ students to more comfortably learn and participate in classwork.

Every day, at least one student comes in feeling light-headed, dizzy, and dehydrated, drained from the sun. September is the hottest month of the year in Oakland, so this fan will help us get through the upcoming months, which has been one of the hottest summers in Oakland as of yet.
