My Project

This August, I will be heading into my 11th year as a science teacher! I always anticipate the start of a new school year with brand-new faces, all eager to learn.

As anyone with experience in education knows, we go through a ton of supplies each year.

And as a science teacher, it feels like we use twice the amount of supplies compared to other subjects! As this school year is coming to a close in a month or so, I've started taking inventory of the supplies that are running low. The items listed in this project such as pencil boxes, markers, colored pencils, and glue, are those that get used the most by me and my students, as well as a few items that we currently have but are in desperate need of replacing.

I thank you in advance for your generosity in helping to fund this project, which in turn is helping to grow and inspire the next generation of STEM leaders!
