• Replenishing Our STEM Supplies!

  Funded Nov 8, 2023

  All of these supplies were very much appreciated in our classroom. These basic supplies make such a difference to the needs of my students. The digital thermometer also allowed out students to collect temperature readings without he need of a glass thermometer. This allows for instantaneous readings!

  Thank you again for generously supporting our classroom. Items like this can truly elevate the learning experience for our students. People forget that teenagers have basic classroom needs too. Thank you again!”

• Safety in the Chemistry Lab - Part 2

  Funded Dec 16, 2022

  We would like to express our sincere appreciation for your support of the Altoona Area High School. One thing we strive for is to maintain a safe environment in the chemistry classroom and in the laboratory. This corrosives cabinet is exactly what we needed and we were so excited for it to finally arrive. We have already started filling it with many acids and other corrosives. We cannot thank you enough for your support. Please stop in and see our new building if you have not already. You will be impressed! The science facilities are absolutely stunning! Thank you for supporting the AAHS science department!”

• Safety in the Chemistry Lab!

  Funded Oct 21, 2022

  We can not express enough how excited we are to have received this flammables cabinet. One of our main goals is to understand the safety that is involved in a chemistry classroom and lab. This flammables cabinet gives us the perfect place to store our alcohols and other flammable substances. We genuinely appreciate your generosity in helping us with this donation. Safety is very important to us and we wanted to make sure that we were doing our part to maintain it in our classroom. Thank you again for your support and amazing help!”

• Basic Supplies to Start Our Year!

  Funded Oct 8, 2022

  We would like to graciously thank all of our donors for some basic supplies to get our year started! Many of these have already been distributed to the students or used in the classroom to help us all stay organized and focused on a routine. We cannot thank you enough for your kindness and generosity! It is funny how giving a student a mechanical pencil can get a kid excited for the day! In addition, we use the post-it notes often for multiple activities - and the colors help add to the fun! Thank you!”

• Chemistry Lab Notebooks for All!

  Funded Aug 19, 2021

  First off, thank you for generously supporting me, my students, and our classroom. When I (very recently) discovered that I would be teaching this new course (AP Chemistry), I was very concerned that I would not have the supplies needed for my students - especially since I did not have the option nor ability to order anything specific for this course. One of the requirements of this course is for the students keep a detailed record of all of the labs and activities they complete to be able to show to their prospective colleges and universities. These lab notebooks are perfect! Not only are they a great place to keep all of their lab reports, they are exactly what will be used in their college classes. These notebooks will provide them with the experience needed to be successful in their current education as well as their future education. THANK YOU.”

• It's a New Year!

  Funded Jul 20, 2021

  First off, I must thank you for your generosity and kindness in supporting me, my students, and our classroom. Many people do not realize how basic supplies - something even as simple as a pencil - can be a huge need in classrooms today. Thank you for providing us with some of the small needs of a classroom that at times are not thought of by the public. These materials can easily ease the burden on some of our students on being fully prepared when they walk in the room. After all, we want them to be ready and focused to learn, no concerned with basic classroom supplies. THANK YOU!”

• Keeping Track!

  Funded Jul 20, 2021

  I would like to thank you for your generosity and kindness. Many people do not realize how something as simple as a large white board (in this case, four foot by eight foot, can make a difference in a classroom. This board provides us the space and area for my students to be able to keep track of their daily jobs, needs, and routines. Each students will have their own space with their classroom information. This valuable tool allows them to remain organized and accountable all school year. Once again, we thank you for supporting our classroom and for supporting education. THANK YOU!”

• A Giant Periodic Table!

  Funded Aug 8, 2021

  First off, I want to graciously thank you for all of your support. Your kindness toward me, my students, and our classroom is truly something that we appreciate and will never forget. Thank you for providing us with this amazing teaching tool and resource for our AP Chemistry class - a giant, four foot by 8 foot, Periodic Table of Elements! This Periodic Table is definitely something that will be used daily in our class. This valuable tool is truly something special and needed in our chemistry classroom. Once again, we thank you for supporting education!”

• The Physics Behind Engineering CO2 Cars!

  Funded May 27, 2021

  First off, my classroom would like to thank you for supporting our needs. With the rise in STEM related careers, it is important that my students continue to focus on increasing their knowledge and skills. The students in my classroom love hands-on projects where they are able to imagine and create their own personal final project. These tools provide them with just that experience. Unfortunately, due to the nature of last school year, the time they actually had was minimal. Those who did have the opportunity to use them were very excited to enhance their projects. However, this year, I already have several projects ready to go that will incorporate the use of these tools with my students. We are so excited!!

  Thank you again for your generosity and support.”

• Project Based Learning - Part 3

  Funded Dec 1, 2020

  First off, I would like to thank you for your support and generous donation. Donors like you make amazing things come alive in our classroom. My students and I are forever grateful for your generosity and dedication to our school and the education system. These supplies will provide my students with the tools and supplies needed to participate and learn in a project-based classroom. These supplies go beyond the science classroom and provide the tools needed to apply engineering principles to our current concepts.

  These supplies have truly made my students appreciate the engineering process - even if only being able to briefly use them. This year has proven to be very difficult. However, with your encouragement and generosity, our students are still excelling.”
