Celebrating Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

Celebrate Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

This project is a part of the Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month celebration because it supports a Latino teacher or a school where the majority of students are Latino.

My Project

Students often find themselves getting their learning opportunities through video these days. But, their headphones are often not sturdy enough to handle a middle schooler's touch. So we run through them often. This will make an impact on my entire school by supplying our entire department with headphones.

Please help me give my students rugged and more reliable headphones to increase their learning opportunities.

I go through headphones year after year and the ones the district supplies do not stand up to the test. The headphones I am asking for are built for middle schoolers. I want to open up new doors for my students by providing them with a rugged and durable headphone we can use year after year for this generation and the next.
