  • Enouraging our students to be creative with STEM projects!

    Funded Apr 11, 2024

    Thank you for donating to our STEM program. The materials you donated have made a huge difference and have helped to get our students excited about engineering design! The students have been so engaged and excited while using the materials you purchased for us.

    We love to offer students opportunities that they otherwise would not receive. We love to see them using critical thinking and problem solving skills during STEM in hopes that these skills carry over to real life. Your donation has helped us meet these goals. Thank you again for your help. It takes a full community to help our students move forward and receive a top notch education. Thanks for your part in this endeavor!”

    With gratitude,

    Mrs. Patterson

  • Building Future Engineers and Scientists!

    Funded Dec 17, 2020

    I wanted to take the time to thank you again and update you on our project "Building Future Scientists and Engineers." We didn't return to in person instruction until the end of February 2021 due to the pandemic. Having to social distance, wear masks, and not share supplies has made it difficult, however I finally received permission from our school district to use our new STEM supplies as long as I disinfected them between uses.

    When I first introduced the new materials to the students they were so thrilled. You could see the smile on their faces, even through their masks! We spent time learning about STEM and what it is all about and then each week we used different materials for our STEM challenges. One of the challenges was to create a catapult. The students did such a wonderful job with it and I wish you could have seen their excitement when they catapulted mini marshmallows across the room! I was so happy with the results and watching them make improvements and be creative. Thank you so much for your generous donations! This has truly made a difference in our school year!”

    With gratitude,

    Mrs. Patterson

Why do we need these STEM kits? We are opening a first year STEM lab at our school. Many of our students do not have the opportunities needed to become more knowledgeable in Science, Technology, and Engineering. Building and designing with these hands on STEM kits will give my studnets the push they need to be more successful in this area. I feel as an educator it is not only my job to academically teach my scholars, but to also prepare them for the future. No one can deny that Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math is the future. It's evident in practically all areas of our lives. As of now, our new STEM lab needs materials to make it succesful and appealing to our students. With these new STEM materials I would be able to introduce kids to new science, math, and engineering and technology ideas and concepts.
