Headphones for Success

Help me give my students headphones, a basic essential in the classroom, to allow them to be successful, and sadly, not every student has the luxury of a pair of headphones.

FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. Sikka's classroom raised $198

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

I love my students because they come to school each day ready to challenge themselves in order to grow both personally and academically. They are ready to make mistakes and learn from them. They know if they are not making mistakes they are not learning. They embrace challenges and look for ways to overcome them.

We have technology in the classroom but are lacking quality headphones that are breaking and some students can't afford to purchase their own.

With headphones, students will be able to engage in apps and websites that will increase student engagement and academic performance. Some of the students and I would be extremely grateful! Your Donation can truly make a difference. Headphones are like gold in a school. Extremely valuable and hard to get. Thank you for your support!!

Be our HERO and help provide individual headphones to thirty fourth grade students.
