Staying Safe While Learning

Help me give my students the proper masks needed to keep them safe.

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Marquita Jones's classroom raised $289

My Students

My students are educational sponges. They are very eager to learn. The excitement that is displayed on each face as they walk through the classroom door makes my heart smile and gives me even more motivation to expose them to every opportunity in every subject and in every aspect of learning. My students come to school with a positive attitude.

My students come from a background of having the minimum home resources.

When they come to school, they are looking for the best education that should be awarded to them. They have a lack of resources at home, so the students should have these resources at school. My students need to have every opportunity to become as successful as any student.

My Project

My students want to feel safe and protected from the Corona Virus while they are pursuing an education in school. Having the proper masks and enough supplies will give the students one less thing to worry about and that is possibly catching the virus and taking it home to their loved ones.

Safety is our main priority while we are in school.

Students love working together and playing together but they have to remain safe. If a student breaks a mask or loses a mask they do not have to feel shameful or embarrassed to ask the teacher for a mask or another mask because they know the teacher has plenty.
