Headphones for My Rockstar Students!

Help me give my students headphones. Most of their headphones broke due to the bad quality and the others who still have them complain about their ears hurting because of the lack of padding for their ears.

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Fenson's classroom raised $174

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

My students currently have very low quality headphones. Most of the headphones have already broke and the few students who still have them, complain about ear pain or how the wires are separating and tangle very easily. We also have two students who need noise canceling headphones because they are very sensitive to loud noises.

My students love to be able to put their headphones on and really focus but lately it has been difficult because they can hear each other on their laptops during work time and it’s very distracting for them.
