Help me give my students noise-cancelling headphones, pencil holders, and a nice rug to sit on!

My Project

Improving my students' access to learning has been a continuous goal. My students have different learning styles and learn at different paces, so the requested items will greatly benefit their diverse needs.

Students who are sensitive to noise will greatly benefit from the noise-cancelling headphones when completing their work.

Those who need help organizing their materials will benefit from the pencil holders being on their desks. And those who get easily distracted will benefit from the desk bands near their feet.

Your donation will allow my students to achieve their full potential!
