A Clean Room Is A Safe Room

Help me give my students a clean room after a hands on project or experiment.

FULLY FUNDED! Mr. Velie's classroom raised $500

Celebrating Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

Celebrate Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

This project is a part of the Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month celebration because it supports a Latino teacher or a school where the majority of students are Latino.

My Project

We are doing a lot of hands on learning and STEM projects. Being able to clean up after ourselves is key to safety and hygiene. If we were to receive a new vacuum it would also help us to support the janitorial staff and enable them to clean other rooms more thoroughly. Please help us to help our students learn in a way that also helps teach them social skills by doing hands on group work. We would definitely appreciate it!

Thank you!
