The germs and stale air really hit hard throughout the year (especially in the winter months) affecting students and teachers alike and having new filters to replace every few months of the school year helps tremendously in keeping everyone healthier. I know that I took less sick days off last school year (which was the second year we used the air purifier) as proof it IS helping! Thank you again for all your support!

With NASA having the Artemis crew in space, we have been connecting frequently to the NASA app and getting updates, viewing images, and watching interviews. The kids were so amazed the pictures weren't fake. It was fun to watch their excitement. I hope this has created inspiration for future careers.\r\n\r\nI know this is only the beginning of our use of the Apple TV in our classroom.
