A Breath of Fresh Air!

Help me give my students an air purifier! Classrooms can accumulate dust, allergens, and germs from many students moving around. An air purifier helps remove these particles, making the air cleaner and healthier to breathe.

My Project

Getting an air purifier for your classroom can be extremely beneficial! Here's why:

Classrooms can accumulate dust, allergens, and germs from many students moving around.

An air purifier helps remove these particles, making the air cleaner and healthier to breathe.

Reduced Allergens: For students with allergies or asthma, an air purifier can significantly reduce triggers like dust mites, pollen, or pet dander, creating a more comfortable learning environment.

Improved Concentration: Cleaner air can lead to better focus and concentration among students and teachers. It removes pollutants that might otherwise cause drowsiness or irritation, helping everyone stay more alert and engaged.

Less Spread of Illness: Air purifiers with HEPA filters can capture airborne viruses and bacteria, potentially reducing the spread of illnesses, especially during flu or cold seasons.

Odor Control: my classroom tends to have odors from various sources (like food, art supplies, etc.), so an air purifier can help eliminate or reduce these smells, creating a more pleasant atmosphere for learning.
