My Project

The goal of our project, "Focus on science" is to keep our students fully engaged by providing the tools they need to roll up their sleeves and get involved in learning science. Our school has always been a great place to teach and learn, but we are in need of microscopes and goggles to keep it up. Since our school opened, 14 years ago, we have not purchased any new microscopes or goggles. As these items are used, they become broken, worn out, or just in need of upgrades.
