My Project

Dear generous donors,

I am writing to humbly request your support in helping us refresh some essential items for our classroom that will greatly benefit our students, including air purifier filters, snacks, water, printing paper and earbuds for students.

We are in need of a new filter for our classroom air purifier. With the ongoing concerns about air quality and allergies, it is crucial for us to provide a clean and healthy environment for our students to learn and thrive in.

Additionally, we are in need of snacks for our students to keep them fueled and focused throughout the day. Many of our students come from low-income households and having access to nutritious snacks can make a significant difference in their energy levels and concentration during class. Clean drinking water is essential for our students' well-being and hydration. We aim to provide a safe and accessible source of water for our students to stay hydrated and healthy throughout the school day.

Furthermore, earbuds are needed for my students to use during assessments and assignments. Being able to listen to instructions or videos without disrupting their peers is essential for individualized learning. The earbuds will also provide privacy for students who require accommodations during testing.

Lastly, we are running low on printing paper for assignments and worksheets. Having an adequate supply of paper is essential for us to effectively deliver educational materials to our students and facilitate their learning experience.

Your support in providing these items will not only improve the learning environment for our students but also demonstrate your commitment to their success and well-being. Any contribution, no matter how big or small, will make a tremendous impact on our classroom.

Thank you for considering our request and for your continued support of our students' education.

Warm regards,

Mrs. Orantes
