Help me give my students an air purifier to keep us healthy and safe and new books to enjoy together!
FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. Somma's classroom raised $573
This project is fully funded
My Project
I am requesting an air purifier to keep our classroom safe. We have amazing custodians but want to combat fall germs. For safety reasons, we keep our doors shut and an air purifier would be a welcome addition to our classroom!
I am also requesting new books that focus on a plethora of topics for social and emotional learning.
After we enjoy these books, we share among other classrooms so we can all enjoy the lessons. Reading a book together and having a discussion is one of our absolute favorite parts of the day. Even fifth graders aren't too old for read alouds!
Nearly all students from low‑income households
Data about students' economic need comes from the National Center for Education Statistics, via our partners at MDR Education. Learn more
