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

For the past four years, our school has equipped every teacher with Lightspeed NH2.4V microphone systems to ensure clear communication with students and prevent strain on teachers' throats. These systems have been crucial in fostering an inclusive and engaging learning environment. However, with regular use over the years, the batteries in these microphone systems are now in need of replacement. As a dedicated educator, I've personally invested heavily in classroom materials, leaving little room in my budget for additional expenses like replacement batteries.

I'm reaching out to our school community and generous donors for support in funding the purchase of new batteries for the Lightspeed NH2.4V microphone systems.

By ensuring these essential tools remain functional, we can continue to provide high-quality instruction without putting undue strain on teachers' voices. The goals of this project are to maintain clear communication, prevent teacher strain, and support inclusive learning for all students, including those with hearing impairments or learning differences.

The budget breakdown includes the cost of replacement batteries for each microphone system. Your donation, regardless of size, will directly contribute to the success and well-being of our school community. Supporting this project means ensuring that our teachers can continue to deliver lessons confidently and comfortably, benefiting both current and future educators who rely on these tools to create positive learning environments.

Thank you for considering this important project and for your continued support of our school community.
