My students have greatly benefitted from all of your donations. As a result, we have completed a whole unit of study on the blood. They have used the materials to learn more about blood typing and how it is performed in the lab. They have identified unknown blood samples using the materials in this kit
My students were so happy to see the materials coming just for them! They loved that the materials were new and won't be used in other classrooms like many of the materials around my building. This instilled in them great pride and respect of the new materials, wanted to keep them in pristine condition!
As a result of these materials students now have a deeper understanding of the blood and immune system connection and will help them succeed in their biology class as well. From the bottom of my heart thank you!”

I can not express how thankful and grateful I am for your continued support of my classroom and students! With the materials we have received, we will be able to explore new topics that would not have been possible without the kits we have received. My students are looking forward to the nutrient analysis lab which will provide them with an experience where they can use qualitative tests as evidence to support their identification of 2 unknown substances. They can then make connections to the function of these nutrients in the body, their importance, and how the qualitative tests work!
Additionally, our annual blood typing lab is no longer in jeopardy with the donation of refill synthetic blood samples! My students LOVE being able to do these hands on labs and because of kind people like you we can keep our inquiry moment going for another term!”

Thank you. I cannot begin to describe the infinite possibilities of STEM projects our class can now create. My prior students for always asked for more hands on opportunities and I was not able to give it to them because of the cost of buying new materials. With your generous donations we will now be able to do projects beyond what even the students imagined. They are so excited to be able to build catapults in our class. Additionally, our bridges will no longer need to be temporary structures but ones that we can keep up in display cases using the connector sets. The online access to supportive materials will help me to ensure I am guiding students through New York State Aligned learning standards in the most engaging way possible. And finally, the containers you helped us purchase will help us remain organized! I will be able to keep track of all the supplies and keep the creativity flowing for years to come!
From the bottom of our hearts, thank you!”

Your donations will help our field day stay fun for years to come! Last year when we first started our event, teachers chipped in to purchase a few hula hoops and balls to make up games for students to play. Today, I can proudly say, we will have multiple games and stations for students to compete in! Because of your donations, even our students who prefer to play in a more relaxed setting will be able to draw in the sun, jump rope, play toss games, and hear the very important pizza call with our new megaphone! Thank you for choosing our project and bringing smiles to all of our students faces!”
