Vacuum Cleaner to Help Keep Our Classroom Clean

Help me give my students a clean classroom environment. Our band room is all carpet and I would love a way to combat the dust, dirt, and messes that happen during the day!

FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. Johnson's classroom raised $391

My Project

We have amazing band students at our school!

Our band room is only carpet, and with nearly 150 students coming into the room daily, it can get messy really quickly!

Providing our students with a clean classroom is something everyone should get behind!

Dust and dirt are the two causes of allergy-related irritation in day-to-day activity, and keeping our students healthy and distraction-free will help them learn and be attentive throughout their entire school day!

Please help us reach our goal so our students can thrive in their clean classroom!
