Help me give my students a button machine, soap making equipment, and flowers for Garden and Eco Club's community service projects.
FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Fong's classroom raised $500

Celebrating 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
To promote environmental stewardship, the Eco club wants to make button pins that students can get as an incentive for recycling and doing other good green deeds around campus or in life. Sort of like how scouts can earn badges, club members can earn a button pin to display on their backpack or sweatshirts for everyone to see and get peers involved in recycling, reusing, and caring about the environment. Earning these button badges will increase the amount of students that participate in our monthly Community Service projects. They want to design their own buttons and we would use the button machine with complementary button backs and covers. For example, my students made a mock up for a “Recycle Warrior” button pin. Members can earn this button badge by collecting plastic bottles and bringing them to our local recycle center for community service hours.
The Garden Club is going to be harvesting flowers this year from our garden that they want to incorporate into a variety of community service projects.
Once a month, after school, our club members harvest plants, trim back plants, and sow seeds for community service. We also want to make soap from our garden's flowers. We need the soap melter, shea butter blocks, molds, and essential oils. They need to melt the blocks of soap using the Fast Melt soap melter, pour the liquid into molds, add fragrance, and their decorative flower petals from our school garden. Earning buttons and making soaps would help incentivize students school wide to participate in community service and make learning about school and community gardens fun.
Garden club needs more seeds to plant when we harvest our current ones and watering olla and coconut fiber for our portable spring garden bed that we will set up in April.
More than half of students from low‑income households
