  • Light the Way

    Funded Jan 17, 2025

    Thank you for being so caring and attentive to our students needs. This lighting will affect those with anxiety, ADHD and autism. It will help us maintain a calm learning environment while studying Physics, Astronomy and other challenging topics in Science.

    Thank you again for all you have done to support our studies. We can't do it without your help.”

    With gratitude,

  • Innovative Teaching Lab

    Funded Sep 1, 2024

    With the new classroom rugs, we are able to spread out and learn in ways that work for us. Some students were comfortable doing the chicken wing dissection for the skeletal and muscular systems in Science. However other students needed an alternative assignment. As you can see from the images, those students worked on the carpets to outline their body and then add the parts of the system to "build-a-body."

    Having these rugs and cushions allow us flexible seating with differentiated instruction. I am so grateful to the donors who supported this project. Every student who enters this classroom for Science or support has been shocked by how comfortable the environment is for learning. We just finished working hard for the semester so today students were given a guided meditation on the floor. Without this donation, none of this would be possible.

    My students and I thank you with the utmost sincerity.”

  • Science Made Real! Dissection, Water Filtration, and Sound Tubes

    Funded Dec 3, 2024

    What a joy to work in a district with givers in the community. I am blown away that you funded another project. The students are so excited about it as well. We are going to do hands-on Science without the simulations and online games. Real dissection?! Amazing. This brings the content to life. Thank you for caring about our studies. We promise the future leaders of our society are in this classroom and they will return the favor.”

  • Headphones For Videos Organizing Labs with Envelopes Displaying Student Work

    Funded Dec 3, 2024

    My students and I thank you so much for your generous donation to our learning. With your help we will be able to watch videos at our seats (fixing sound issues with some video clips) and display student work. This boosts our ability to succeed and we could not have done this without you. I hope the return on your investment is great as these future leaders will thrive in this environment.”

  • Lab Science Requires Hands-on Experiments

    Funded Nov 13, 2024

    This is my 23rd year teaching Science and I have never encountered such generous support of my lab. The ideas developed on this project list will support students in multiple grades in units such as: Humans Impact on the Environment and Communication in Waves. The integration between disciplines using chemical reactions from plants will support learners to perform their best securing their mastery of the concepts. More importantly, their love for Science will flourish as they see practical applications for their studies. Each lesson has a Health standard built into the Science standards so we are educating the whole person rather than pouring in knowledge. We are so excited to use these lab supplies. Thank you for helping us love learning and collecting data. Data-driven decisions from an informed populace is our gift in return. :)”

  • Let's Study Skeletons Using Owl Pellets

    Funded Nov 13, 2024

    I am absolutely blown away at the generosity of donors who want students to get the best experience possible in their Science class. I have never been able dream this big and have my ideas matched with funding. It feels so inspiring. My creativity is blossoming and my students benefit most. We will share supplies across the department whenever possible so we are supporting learners across the school. On behalf of my students, we thank you and hope to return the gifts as your future engineers, doctors, nurses, scientists and inventors.”

  • Visuals Help Memory - We Need Whiteboards

    Funded Nov 13, 2024

    Thank you! You have made a world of difference in our classroom. I cannot thank you enough. The students can engage with the lesson better now since they can see the whiteboard. Your donation is going to help us so much. We would love more donations to support our studies. The future depends on you! :) The future doctors, engineers and society members are in my room right now.”
