Dancing into a New Year of Learning

Help me give my students lifelong experiences that they'll remember for years to come with a silent disco party!

My Project

I love how much joy, energy, and personality my students bring into the classroom. They work hard, support each other, and deserve to be celebrated, not just for what they achieve academically, but for who they are as people.

This project is all about giving them a back-to-school experience they'll never forget.

The silent disco headphones will allow us to kick off the new year with a fun, inclusive party where everyone can dance, vibe, and connect. But this isn’t just about music—it’s about creating a classroom culture rooted in joy, belonging, and positive energy from day one.

Even after our back-to-school bash, these headphones will continue to serve as a powerful tool for celebration and motivation. We’ll use them for brain breaks, reward days, and special moments throughout the year, reminding students that their hard work, growth, and spirit are always worth celebrating. With your help, we’ll start strong and stay connected, one beat at a time.
