My Project

My low-income school empowers students to become life-long learners, excel in their work, and encourage them both personally and academically. We currently have over 400 students, with over 60% receiving free and reduced lunch. Our school gives children from all cultures, areas, and various incomes an opportunity to learn and thrive within the district.

We’re asking for items to use in our learning centers that will help students show demonstration of knowledge after each lesson and large group instruction.

Learning about space at an early age will further encourage children to aspire to careers in science and technology, even if they're ultimately not related to space exploration.

My goal for this project is to make school fun and engaging where every week our students can walk into a new adventure and are excited to come to school for new explorations and discoveries.
