My Project

Please consider donating to our middle school students. These supplies will not only support the basic needs of a functional classroom but also provide a safe, inclusive, engaging space for our young scientists!

I am excited to utilize the balloon carts as part of a STEM project.

Allowing students to explore the engineering portion of STEM is an essential supplement to the science and mathematics portion.

The basic classroom supplies such as pens, pencils, notebook, hand sanitizer, and tissues will allow students to remain healthy and safe each and every day.
