My Students

The students at our school thrive on learning. We are a New York State Title I school, which means a large percentage of the students who attend come from poverty-stricken families. Our students' parents want the very best for their children and look for the support and guidance of our school and educators.

I want to support the students' eagerness to learn and therefore writing this proposal to support and enhance our thriving S.T.E.M.

Program. The S.T.E.M. The program includes Project Based Learning (PBL), learning about and loving all living things. Students learn through engagement, exploration, and hands-on discovery. Students have a unique opportunity to develop their knowledge, enable them to grow and learn through being exposed to many habitats and living things.

My Project

With 100% of students returning this year, I am in the process of opening my Science Lab and STEM Program to the students within my school. You donation will support our horticulture program. Indoor planting is a large part of our horticulture program. Your donation will support me purchasing new animals which were donated or given away when the pandemic began. Your donation will purchase substrate which we use to breed mealworms and mega mealworms. Your donation will enable me to use the gift cards to purchase new animals for the students to utilize while learning about habitat, food chain, life cycle and many more contents within the science curriculum.
