Bring Learning to Life

Help me give my students laminating pouches, composition notebooks, a laminator, and more, to have the opportunity to have items that will help them in science class.

FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. Arias's classroom raised $587

This project is fully funded

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

These items will allow me to bring science material to life. The composition notebooks as journals will allow for note taking and journaling, which is vital in the science field.

The laminator is a key tool in many of our upcoming science experiments.

There are many science experiments in our curriculum that call for lamination, and unfortunately due to funding, we do not have a working laminator on school grounds. The school supply materials, such as the colored pens, will allow students' science notebooks to take on a vibrant interactive look and feel.
