Calculators for Success

Help me give my students calculators to solve their math equations on assessments.

FULLY FUNDED! Dr. Nicole Shinall's classroom raised $1,328

This project is fully funded

My Project

Calculators are a basic necessity for middle school, but not every parent can afford to provide one in addition to the other school supplies that are required. Please help us purchase an additional 100 calculators for our school to assist the students in solving math equations.

My goal for this project is to purchase 100 calculators for the students to use for testing.

These are necessary for the students to be successful when taking the tests that are required of them. The students at BMS are special because it is an International Baccalaureate school that has different rigorous programs in the creative arts, marine science, and one for the talented and gifted.
