Help me give my students a sound bar to use with our classroom projector.
FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. Martes's classroom raised $159

Celebrating 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
In our classroom, we use a projector every day to bring learning to life—whether it's watching educational videos, listening to read-alouds, modeling lessons, or playing songs to support student engagement. However, the built-in speaker on our projector just doesn’t do the job. The sound is muffled, low-quality, and hard to hear, especially for students sitting farther away or those with sensory processing challenges.
We are requesting a sound bar to pair with our classroom projector and ensure that every student can clearly hear what’s being shared.
A high-quality sound bar will make our lessons more accessible and engaging for all learners. Whether it’s a science video, a math tutorial, or a motivational song to start the day, clear sound will help students stay focused and connected to the content.
This upgrade will especially benefit my English language learners and students receiving special education services who rely heavily on audio support for language development and comprehension.
Thank you for helping us create a more inclusive and effective learning environment through better sound!
More than three‑quarters of students from low‑income households
