My Project

In the past students borrowed - and shared - one class set of goggles. Particularly after COVID-19, students really need to have their own pair of goggles for chemistry lab. Though they do get sanitized between uses, they do not get cleaned. Think about what teenagers have on their faces! It is more hygienic and at the end of the year, students can take their goggles for future lab-based coursework, etc.

We have started doing before-school programming this year because many students arrive at school more than 30 minutes before classes start.

The majority of students go to the cafeteria for breakfast or to the gym. A number of students would appreciate an alternative, so having some board games or cards to play with in the Library would provide that option.

Lastly, a laser pointer would be very useful to highlight things on the large Periodic Table of the Elements hanging in the room. It hangs on the opposite side of where I am normally teaching from, and students would be more able to see what I am "pointing" at if I actually was!

Our students deserve everything we can give them, and the donors always come through for them! Thank you very much!!
