FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Ibayan's classroom raised $572

This project is fully funded

My Project

I love my students' curiosity, creativity, and resilience. They light up when learning something new. Headphones will help them focus, block distractions, and engage with interactive lessons. This will enhance their learning experience, improve concentration, and boost academic performance. Your donation will empower them to reach their full potential and succeed in the classroom. Every student deserves access to the tools they need to thrive.

My goal is to provide 14 students with headphones, empowering them to focus, learn, and succeed in the classroom.

Your donation will help bridge the technology gap and ensure every student has the tools they need to thrive. Together, let's make a difference and unlock their full potential!
