My Project

Enhancing a classroom environment is one key to promoting a more positive and successful learning experience for students. A mini fridge in our classroom will be perfect for storing healthy snacks that would improve focus and productivity, as well as freezing ice packs for bumps and bruises, as we don’t currently have a school nurse.

Healthy food helps strengthen our minds and bodies, as well as our sense of well-being when we are a contributing member of a caring classroom community.

The kids love to help set up our afternoon snack each day. It would be wonderful to have actual plates and cloth to make napkins that can be reused, instead of constantly throwing away paper products. This fridge has an Energy Star Rating making it more environmentally friendly than my previous garage sale mini-fridge.

As an educator, I aim to provide students with opportunities to develop real-world skills, and a mini fridge would allow me to incorporate lessons on nutrition and food preparation. Your contribution would directly benefit the growth and success of my students while enriching their educational experience. Thank you for your time and consideration!
