My Project

I am an educator at a Title I school located in a low socioeconomic neighborhood where one hundred percent of the students receive free breakfast and lunch. A vast majority of my students come from low socioeconomic or single-parent households. A large population of students walk to school from the nearby public housing apartments.

My multi-tiered students are in need of headphones to focus on their assignments while completing assignments in the technology center.

Our students utilize a computer-based literacy program designed to improve literacy skills. The Kensington Hi-Fi Headphones will be used to keep the students focused on their assignments. The snacks will be used to ward off hunger pains between breakfast and lunch.

Equity Focus

At this school, more than 50% of students are Black, Latino, and/or Native American, and more than 50% come from low-income households. Learn how your donation to this school supports a more equitable education.

This project will directly impact historically underfunded classrooms.
