Headphones For Hamlet
Who? Amarillo NAACP Religious Affairs is inviting congregations across Amarillo to cooperate in this important project
What? quality headphones for all 300 students of Hamlet A 5-pack costs ~$40 on Amazon. As of 6/20/23, we have enough for 175 headphones. We are trying to fund an additional 125 headphones. Any amount helps.
Why? To support the students and teachers of Hamlet Elementary School
To relieve teachers of one financial burden
To enhance student learning in small-group and individual activities
To give students a sense of dignity and worth because they can use quality equipment and have a choice of colors
To provide a safer listening experience than earbuds, especially for younger students
To encourage older students during online testing because they will have fully functional, comfortable equipment
When? Contributions should be submitted by no later than Saturday, July 15, 2023.
We intend to present the headphones to Hamlet on Monday, August 7, 2023.
