Our Fish: The Class Pet
Funded Feb 15, 2024Thank you for your generous donations. The students not only learned about grant writing, but now have the responsibility of caring for a community fish tank. They truly enjoyed opening up all the supplies, filling the fish tank and getting everything running.
We ran many trials to balance the water using the testing kit and water conditioner. This sparked a science experiment on our tap and drinking water. They had to be very patient as it took a few weeks for the water to cycle and be healthy enough for the fish.”

After School Sports Club
Funded Nov 4, 2019Thank you for your generous donations. The 80 students that participate in our after school sports and games club have enjoyed all the supplies your donations bought for us. We have learned kickball, knock out, dodgeball, and checkers. We look forward to warmer weather so we can use the sidewalk chalk for hop scotch and jump ropes for some partner jumping.
Watching these students learn to work together and strategize and problem solve has been very rewarding. The older students gladly help the younger kids and cheer each other on. They comfort each other when they lose and remind each other there will be other games they may be better at or help them strategize how to be a better player.
They get excited every time we introduce new materials and love to guess what we will be using them for.
We will continue building cooperation, team building, and a love of physical activity! Thanks to each and everyone of you these students are learning beyond the classroom.”
With gratitude,
Mrs. Rice
