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

Our biology high school lab is in need of essential supplies. Everything from heat lamp bulbs, rulers, safety goggles, owl pellets, construction paper, basic chemicals, and more to ensure that every students has access to an enriching year in biology. As a passionate biology teacher, I strive to give my students the most engaging, hands-on learning experience possible. These supplies will allow me to create an engaging and interactive learning experience for all of my biology classes. Each of the lab supplies on my list corresponds with a specific lab that students will conduct throughout the school year.

Your donation, will directly impact our students by enabling meaningful interactive lab experiments, supporting science literacy and curiosity, and providing equitable learning opportunities for all students.
