Dolphins with HEART

Help me give my students a multipurpose cleaning system to keep them healthy, cups to stay hydrated, an air fryer to make learning real world, and a Cricut Maker 3 to create a fun and motivating learning environment.

My Project

My students are bright, energetic, and amazing! Just like the dolphins that are our school mascot, they are very curious and love to learn new things all the time.

At our school, we show HEART (Here Every day And Right on Time)!

Even though we promote HEART every day, one of the biggest challenges for our students is staying healthy and coming to school on time daily. Having the right tools to create a warm, nurturing environment, and keep us motivated and healthy is one of the ways we can show HEART.

We are asking for Force of Nature Multipurpose Cleaning System and supplies to help keep our room clean and sanitized, so we can stay healthy. The Cricut Maker 3 will help us use our creativity to make our learning space inviting. The toaster oven/air fryer will be used to make lessons real. We are also asking for a cup dispenser and disposable cups to help us stay hydrated throughout the day. All these amazing tools will help us keep motivated and wanting to show HEART.
