SPED Room Needs Heat

My students need Lasko Digital Space-Saving Ceramic Pedestal Heaters and Bionare Ceramic Office Portable Heaters to stay warm in their classroom.

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Hirsch's classroom raised $348

This project is fully funded

My Students

My students are hard-working, polite and extremely helpful students. These students are from the south side of Chicago and have a variety of abilities. The students in my class like listening to music, singing along graciously, drawing, playing basketball and laughing at the silliness of others.

Their drive for their education always surpasses my expectations.

The students in my class may have different intellectual disabilities, Autism or cerebral palsy. The wide range of abilities makes my classroom unique and entertaining.

My Project

Having heaters in our classroom will keep my students warm and healthy in these cold Chicago winter months. It is November and our students are currently wearing winter jackets to be able to sit through a lesson. This is extremely nerve-wrecking because our students have autism, seizure disorders, low body weight, etc. These various situations make sitting in the cold dangerous for SPED students. Heaters will help combat these cold winter months and help my students be able to learn and focus in a warm environment.

Currently, our classroom has been reporting at 48° in November.

I'm expecting it to only get chilly from December through March.
