  • Plant Science Supplies

    Funded Jan 9, 2024

    Thank you so much for contributing to my classroom. I have great students who are eager to learn but sometimes there are supplies that I can't afford but would benefit them. My students will benefit from your generosity! Thanks again for choosing to support myself and my wonderful students.”

    With gratitude,

    Mr. Girnus

  • Starting Seeds of Change

    Funded Dec 2, 2021

    Thank you so much for funding my plant science program's requests. We are so grateful for your donation and you can rest assured it will be put to good use. My students will benefit from the hands-on experiences these supplies will allow. We will use them to motivate students, enhance their educational experience, and provide inquiry driven science opporunties.”

    With gratitude,

    Mr. Girnus

My students are in a Plant Science program at an inner-city school. As part of their curriculum, they help maintain a large veggie garden, a perennial pollinator garden, an herb garden, and a flower garden. They also maintain their own personal garden in the form of container gardening. One of our challenges is starting seeds. These grow lights would help us start seeds more effectively by enabling us to start them inside our classroom rather than outdoors where gemination is more variable. This would also enable us to set up a grow light setup indoors that would allow students to experiment with seed germination.
