Headphones for Virtual Learners!

Help me give my students much needed headphones. Our school has had to transition back and forth between hybrid and virtual learning. As a result, technology has become incredibly important and our lessons are mainly online.

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Leonard's classroom raised $596

My Students

I teach an extremely diverse group of middle students. Their life challenges, perseverance, and amazing ability to make me laugh through tricky classroom scenarios absolutely​ set this group apart.

I feel blessed to work with this awe-inspiring group of learners.

They have a deep seated desire to beat the odds and succeed. They are driven, competitive, spirited, and delightfully funny.

My students meet their challenges in incredible ways. They take the work presented to them and amaze me with their creativity and passion to change the trajectory of their lives. I couldn't be more proud to be their !

My Project

Thank you so much for checking out my project! This school year has been different, fun, frustrating, amazing, and devastating all at once!

My students have been transitioning between hybrid and virtual learning for the entire first semester.

They have been in the classroom for half the time, but many of their assignments are still online to keep things more synchronous.

I have noticed that the thing my students need most is quality headphones for while they are working in the classroom. I intend to allow students to "check out" headphones for use while they are in school, but will need to quarantine and disinfect between each use. Thank you so much for your kindness and understanding. These kids sure deserve it!
