Helping Minds and Tummies: Headphones & Snacks for Focused Learning!

Help me give my students headphones help students focus on digital lessons without distractions, especially during reading and intervention. Snacks keep them energized and ready to learn, especially those who may come to school hungry.

My Project

My Students

My students are eager learners who come from a variety of backgrounds.

Many of them face challenges outside of school, but they arrive each day ready to grow, learn, and engage. I want to create an environment where their minds are fueled and their needs are met—starting with the simple things: a working pair of headphones and a healthy snack.

My Project

To help my students focus and succeed, I’m requesting classroom headphones and nutritious snacks.

Headphones will allow students to engage in digital learning activities without distractions and at their own pace—especially helpful for reading and intervention programs.

Snacks will ensure students can concentrate without the distraction of hunger, especially for those who may not always have access to food during the day.

With your help, we can remove two big barriers to learning—noise and hunger—so every student has the opportunity to thrive.

The Impact

This project will support students' well-being and academic growth. A quiet mind and a full stomach are essential to a successful school day, and these resources will directly contribute to that. Thank you for helping us create a calm, comfortable, and caring classroom.
