My Project

Help welcome students in PS23 to the a hands on science classroom! Due to covid we have not been able to have science class in a specific classroom! We are back this year, please help decorate our classroom to welcome students and provide the necessary materials to get the year off to a fun and exciting start. Students will be provided many more opportunities to experience life long hands on learning experiences in this setting, but we need a little help to reach this vision. Please help kick start the school year! Anything you can contribute will help!
