Wish Delivered: Headphones for students

Teacher Nicole Nestler says "As second grade teachers, we are getting creative with ways to share the limited headphones we have. The other problem we are facing, is that many of the headphones are old, broken, don't fit our second grade students, and they don't work with our iReady/iStation tests. This gives our students an unfair disadvantage in state testing. We want to provide our students with headphones to give our disadvantaged students a fair chance at showing their best with their scores without the distraction of ill fitted headphones or headphones that wires are showing through."

Wish Amount: $720
