Tune In to Success with Silent Disco Headphones!

Help me give my students a silent disco party for achieving their goals!

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Thomas's classroom raised $2,046

My Project

In our classroom, we believe that hard work should be celebrated and rewarded! This project aims to secure funding for a set of silent disco headphones that will serve as a unique incentive for students to put forth their best effort in their studies. A silent disco allows me the opportunity to expose scholars to music in the most innovative way.

By incorporating these headphones into our reward system, we will create an engaging environment that motivates students to excel academically while also allowing them to enjoy music and audio content in a focused way.

The silent disco headphones will be used as rewards for students who show exceptional effort, improvement, or participation. This tangible reward will motivate students to strive for their best, creating a culture of achievement in the classroom. By funding this project for silent disco head phones, you are not only providing a fun and engaging tool for our classroom but also helping to cultivate a culture of hard work and achievement. Your support will motivate students to strive for excellence and create a vibrant learning environment where every effort is celebrated. It would mean the world if you join us in tuning in to success.

Thank you for your generosity!
