You Put the Cool in School!

Help me give my students a comfortable learning environment where they will be successful and cool!

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Sprandel's classroom raised $520

This project is fully funded

My Project

Our classroom is on the second floor of a brick building with no air conditioning. We have one window in our classroom which does both supply enough cool airflow for students and staff.

Children cannot learn, and have a hard time focusing when the classroom temperature feels like it is over 80 degrees.

By having an air conditioner, students will be able to relax, chill and feel comfortable while learning on those warm spring and fall school days. We appreciate your help in keeping our students cool for school!
