Mask Up

Help me give my students better masks for in-person learning. Children need to be in a safe, clean, and protected school environment so we need KN95 masks for kids!

My Students

I teach Language Arts to 40 amazing third graders. These students are smart, resilient, and eager to learn. They come to school daily with an expectation to grow and learn. They inspire me daily to give them 100% and more.

My Project

We are currently experiencing a lockout in Chicago Public Schools due to surging Covid 19 cases in our city. Studies are showing that cloth masks are ineffective against the new variant. I want my students back in class and safe. We only offer cloth masks that get constantly wet and lost during the day. We need masks of a better grade with more protection for the students. I would love to have KN95 masks for my students to wear in the classroom and save the cloth masks for lunch/recess. I would also teach them to preserve and sanitize their mask using paper bags. Because we are unable to social distance within the classroom, having top-grade masks will help us to remain healthy and in school.

This project will directly impact historically underfunded classrooms.
