Help Ms. Baker

I teach freshman honors biology at a school for students preparing for college. Our school gives students an opportunity to experience college courses in preparation for success in post-secondary education.

Our school targets students that are low income, first generation college goers, minority and students for whom English is a second language.

Biology curriculum includes learning about body systems of reptiles, mammals and amphibians. The frog dissection is a staple for biology. For many students, the frog dissection is the one thing they remember from biology for the rest of their lives. This is an awesome hands on experience for students that helps teach them about body systems and can be compared to their own internal organs.

Your help can make it possible for our students to have this wonderful, memorable biology experience!
