  • Let's Grow!

    Funded Dec 4, 2023

    My school is a STEM school. I do my best to enhance my science curriculum to make it very meaningful and educationl. With your donation my project for mini green houses was able to happen. I recieved 3 sets. By setting up these mini greenhouses, my students will engage with the process of gardening and planting. Watching a plant grow from a tiny seed into something beautiful and thriving can be such a rewarding experience for everyone involved. I have no doubt that my students will benefit greatly from this project, not only in terms of their understanding of science but also in developing patience, responsibility, and a deeper connection to the natural world.”
