Save Our Turtles!

Funded May 30, 2011

Thank you so much for your generous donation to my classroom. Our turtles are beloved classroom pets that add a lot to our exploration of life science. The new and more powerful filter your donations paid for will allow us to maintain our pets in a clean and comfortable environment.

As you may know, California's public education system is facing a serious budget crisis. Every department faces serious challenges and there is very little money for "extracurriculars" like classroom pets. Without your help I might have had to find new homes for Benjamin and Shelly, and our classroom would have lost an invaluable resource.

Without donors like you, thousands of classrooms across the United States would have to do without. You are the best of the best.”

With gratitude,

Mr. Stone
