My Students

Please help my students continue to be able to publish lab reports, complete online reviews, and take online exams that provide immediate feedback by donating to our classroom netbooks.

I teach general and honors chemistry at a diverse, high need, college-preparatory charter high school.

My students are mostly juniors and seniors that are preparing for college entrance. They are a deserving group of young people that have overcome difficult challenges and odds with grace and humanity. They are worth every penny you invest and more.

My Project

We need more netbooks to ensure a 2:1 ratio of students to netbooks. The students use the netbooks to research current events in science, do online labs, prepare lab reports, and take online tests. Your donation toward this laptop will ensure that my students have the resources they need to succeed beyond the classroom.

I am inspired daily by my students willingness to overcome odds and focus on making the world a better place.

Please help them connect to that world by helping to fund this project. They are truly worth it!
