My Project

Support Our First Grade Class—One Pair of Headphones at a Time!

Our amazing group of first graders is eager to learn, read, and explore through the power of technology.

But there’s one small challenge: we need headphones to help each student focus during online lessons, reading programs, and learning games.

With just one class to support, your donation will have a direct and immediate impact. A single pair of headphones helps a young learner block out distractions, hear instructions clearly, and stay engaged.

We’re asking for your help to equip every student in our class with their own headphones.

It’s a simple tool that makes a big difference—and with your support, we can set our students up for a successful school year.

Thank you for helping our first graders learn loud and clear!
