My Project

My students are very young and have developmental delays. I admire my students because they do not let their delays hold them back. They are very enthusiastic about learning and always try to do their very best.

It is imperative that I provide my students with a nurturing, warm, safe, learning environment.

The Dyson Purifier, Heater and Fan will be used to protect my students who have respiratory disorders from being exposed to harmful allergens. Also, it will keep the classroom warm when the temperature drops. This will reduce my students' chances of becoming sick and having to miss valuable classroom instructional time. With your help, my students will have a very productive school year.
