Stock the STEM Lab!
Funded Apr 1, 2025I'm writing with immense gratitude for your support of our STEM lab project. Your kindness has provided our students with essential supplies that will fuel their creativity and problem-solving abilities throughout the school year.
In our busy STEM lab serving over 450 students, supplies are constantly in use and quickly depleted. Thanks to your generosity, our students now have access to CD-Rs, wooden spools in various quantities, and colorful resin buttons that will be incorporated into numerous hands-on projects. These materials might seem simple, but they are vital components in our engineering challenges and design activities.
Our sixth graders in particular will benefit tremendously from these resources. The wooden spools and buttons will enable them to create functional mechanisms and moving parts in their design projects, while the CD-Rs will allow them to document and share their work. Already, I've noticed increased excitement and engagement as students discover they have the proper tools to bring their innovative ideas to life.
One of the most meaningful aspects of your donation is the message it sends to our students: their learning matters, their creativity is worth investing in, and their STEM education is valued by the community. By ensuring that no student is excluded due to lack of materials, you've helped create an equitable learning environment where everyone can participate fully.
Your contribution extends far beyond the physical items—you've invested in developing the next generation of problem-solvers, inventors, and innovators. The skills our students are building today, with the help of these supplies, will serve them throughout their academic journeys and future careers.
From all of us in the STEM lab, thank you for making a tangible difference in our students' educational experience.”

Mouse Trap
Funded Apr 1, 2025Words cannot express how grateful I am for your generous support of our STEM classroom project. Thanks to you, our students now have access to functioning computer mice and HDMI cables that are essential to their learning experience.
In our STEM curriculum, students are constantly engaged in collaborative design challenges that require precision, accuracy, and technological fluency. With over 400 students rotating through our classroom, our previous equipment was showing significant wear and tear. Your donation has directly addressed this need by providing 60 new computer mice with ergonomic design and reliable HDMI connectivity.
Your contribution extends far beyond just physical materials. You've invested in these young innovators' confidence and capabilities. By removing technological barriers, you've empowered them to fully engage with challenging STEM concepts and develop skills that will serve them throughout their academic and professional futures.
On behalf of all my students, thank you for believing in the importance of quality STEM education. Your generosity has made a tangible difference in our classroom environment and in the educational experience of hundreds of young minds.”

Funded Nov 29, 2023I am writing to extend my sincerest gratitude for your generous support of our classroom! Your contribution has opened up a world of possibilities for my students and our classroom.
With your help, we were able to acquire a 3D printer and essential materials that have transformed our learning experience. The students are now not only learning about technology and design but also using their creativity to solve real-world problems. It has been incredible to watch them brainstorm ideas, design prototypes, and bring their creations to life.
Your belief in the power of hands-on learning and your commitment to our classroom have made a lasting impact. Thank you for investing in our future and inspiring my students to dream big.”
