Help Ms. Allsup

I teach biology and physiology students in a high need charter high school in California.

In a science classroom, technology is essential and unfortunately, my students often don't have the means to supply their own necessary laboratory tools in the classroom.

We need a classroom set of 15 calculators and 18 student timers in order to have full participation of students during laboratory activities in our classroom.

Your help would ensure that my students to have access to their own lab materials and not have to wait for their classmates to complete an activity.
