My Project

With this project we are looking to get a set of walkie talkie batteries for our walkie talkies for our classroom. This will make it so we can easily talk to each other when we are separated at school. Our school provides everyone with walkie talkies but many of the batteries are no longer working.

New batteries will help us increase our safety and security in the classroom and around the school.

We will be able to reach admin and the office for support or emergencies. With these walkie talkie batteries we will be able to communicate quickly and efficiently in case of emergencies to help ensure our students' safety.

The students at my school span from pre-K through 2nd grade. It is a Title I-funded school with students with culturally diverse backgrounds.
