  • Making Science Come to Life

    Funded Nov 14, 2022

    I want to take a moment to to thank you for your donation. The science materials purchased gave excitement to my science program. Using hands on materials are very important in bringing science to life in the classroom. This is something not accomplished by using textbooks. The students were very excited to get started. They kept asking when we would do some of the activities.

    We are working on ecosystems and the students had an opportunity to dissect owl pellets and use scientific materials to analyze it. It was informative and interesting. A few students said that this was the best thing that they have done in school. They are going to use the microscope and analyze slides as well.

    I ordered an ant farm so that they can watch an ecosystem in real life. We are going to do a unit on forces and interactions. I ordered materials for an egg drop. It will be a motivational and fun way for the students to learn about this topic. Thanks again for your support.”

    With gratitude,

    Mr. Zaretsky

  • Exercise, Mind and Body!

    Funded Sep 20, 2022

    Thank you so much for your donations. My students were super excited. They wanted to use the equipment right away and they couldn't wait to do PE. It made it easier for me to plan PE lessons.

    I did a football PE unit and they learned how to catch, throw, and play the game. It came to life when they used the flag football flags. Some of them ended up playing football on our ESS team.

    I am starting a floor hockey unit soon thanks to your donation. The students will get an experience that they hadn't had before. They were excited when I told them about it. It makes PE much more enjoyable.”

    With gratitude,

    Mr. Zaretsky
