My Students

This school year my students will be walking into a brand new classroom with old textbooks, teacher's editions, and tables. My middle school science students will not have ANY Science supplies other than what is donated. Please help fill our room with the tools we need to Explore to Learn!

Your donation will be influencing the education of Middle School Science students in a low income rural area of Oklahoma.

My students come from great hard working families and they need the opportunity to experience hands-on science like students from the larger cities in our area.

My Project

We are requesting 13 microscopes. Period. Our school does not supply microscopes for our Life Science Lab, just textbooks. We are asking for a 'teacher' microscope that can be used with our projector and also 12 'student' microscopes that can be used in partners, pairs, or small groups for the students to experience life science up close.

This project will make an impact on the students in our school by offering a tool that they have not used personally in the past.

This will not only provide one microscope for a classroom but, thirteen microscopes! Please help our classroom be prepared for learning about Life Science this school year!

This project will directly impact historically underfunded classrooms.
