My Project

As the Science Teacher for MES for over 16 years, I enjoy teaching students by providing opportunities for them to observe phenomena and discover the learning themselves.

All the resources I had collected for my students were lost in the Palisades Fire.

Many of the lost items are priceless and cannot be purchased. However, the items in this project can.

Please help me rebuild the Science Lab and bring back even a tiny bit of normalcy to these children. Our young scientists will observe the beauty and wonderment of our world. My hope is that it also helps in providing a little joy. Thank you.
