My Project

Headphones are essential for students to utilize their chromebooks. Many programs require students to listen, whether it is assistive technology for students learning to read or simply to hear directions.

While they are listed on the school supply list, many students come to school without headphones.

These headphones will provide classroom sets for teachers in intermediate grades at our school so that all students can use their chromebooks to their full potential.

In addition to technology, we pencils all day, every day in classrooms! These pencils will help our students get through the rest of the school year.
