A Greenhouse to Help Us Grow

Help me give my students a Hobby Greenhouse to grow our plants and plot their growth.

FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. Braaten's classroom raised $776

This project is fully funded

My Project

My students come from all backgrounds and are in a high-poverty, rural school district. They have all different experiences and background knowledge. My students have to grow plants and plot their growth in math. We have very limited space to grow plants inside our classrooms.

We have a garden area at our school and adding a greenhouse would help our students take care of their plants, so they will grow.

We have very limited success with our plants with our current conditions. This greenhouse would benefit our whole building of about 520 students. It would allow for year-round study of plants and our garden.
