Silence the Buzz, Unlock Distraction-Free Learning

Help me give my students the ability to refocus on what matters: education.

FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. Hannigan's classroom raised $1,918

My Project

Ever heard a text notification chirp mid-lecture? Cell phones can be a constant battle in classrooms, pulling focus away from valuable learning. Phone pouches offer a simple solution! By securing phones during class, students can fully immerse themselves in the material, boosting concentration and participation. This translates to better comprehension, stronger critical thinking skills, and ultimately, improved academic performance.

Imagine a classroom buzzing with ideas, not notifications.

This project aims to raise funds for enough pouches to equip our entire school, creating a distraction-free zone for focused learning. With your help, we can unlock a world of possibilities! Students will be empowered to reach their full potential, fostering a love of learning that extends far beyond the classroom walls.

Our students are anything but ordinary! They come from a vibrant array of backgrounds in our low-socioeconomic community here in Hawaii. Each student brings unique experiences and perspectives to the classroom, fueling a spirit of curiosity and creativity. Despite the challenges they may face outside of school, they possess a remarkable thirst for knowledge. By equipping them with the tools to succeed, like these phone pouches, we're not just supporting their education, we're investing in the future of these bright, diverse minds. Together, let's empower them to reach their full potential and break down any barriers to their success.
