  • STEM Onion Mitosis

    Funded Sep 19, 2018

    We were beyond excited when we received these materials and supplies. We were shocked to know that individual donors took an interest in our education and provided us with such amazing science equipment!

    With these microscopes and slides, we will be able to better learn about cells and cell biology lab techniques. We can now do science more professionally and prepare ourselves as future medical professionals.

    Your gift has empowered us to discover how science impacts our everyday lives and although such biology topics can be difficult to learn about, they can be studied, understood, and are fun to learn about. Most of all, we have learned that a community of people care about our education.

    Collaborative and exploratory learning are key elements to STEM education and your contributions have helped drive our students to becoming the powerful Medical Explorers that I know we can be. Thank you for helping our classroom move into the 21st century.

    Your generosity has truly made a difference.”

    Dear Donors Choose,

    Thank you so much for sending us the filing cabinets. They were very useful for our class and helped us file our papers and our assignments. It also is helping us keep our papers organized and neat. The new materials are already set up and we are using them in class and it has a high impact for the students. Students will also use the filing cabinets in the future for their future assignments as well. We have learned throughout this project that keeping our work clean can benefit our grades and intelligence.

    We thank you so much for helping us with our project and we are glad it had a big benefit on us.”

  • Help Cool the Overheated STEM Classroom

    Funded Jun 3, 2016

    On behalf of our class, thank you for the donation that led us to purchase an air conditioner for our classroom. Our classroom definitely would have been as hot an oven had it not been for your generous donations.

    Because it is almost summer, and our high temperatures are in the 80s, it can be very uncomfortable to sit through an 80 minute class session in the baking heat. Keep in mind that this is not just for one group of kids; many class sessions take place in this room and different groups partake in them.

    So not just on behalf of the class, but on behalf of the entire grade, -thank you for the incredibly generous donation you made to help purchase an air conditioning unit.”

I teach a diverse range of 7th and 8th graders. I have students that require remediation as well as those that need enrichment. My students are incredibly motivated and persistent in their learning, especially in science. It is my goal to foster an appreciation for scientific inquiry while relating science and technology to the everyday and diverse lives of my students.
