Cooking Efficiently

Help me give my students new energy efficient microwaves to use during our lab experiences.

FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. Murray's classroom raised $306

This project is fully funded

My Students

My students come from a rural farming community in South Central Oklahoma. Most students I teach have parents that are working in the oil or farming industry. We have a high free and reduced lunch rate percentage which means most of our students are eating in the cafeteria every day.

We also have many students receiving backpack food to take home on the weekends to help supplement their meals while they are not in school.

Students are in grades 7-12 in our Jr. Sr. High School.

My Project

These microwaves will allow students to learn to cook more efficiently. Sometimes meals can be prepared using a microwave and save on heating the entire house. These microwaves will be more energy efficient to use and have eco modes to save on electricity.

Some of our students are from lower income families and might not have the opportunity to cook with a conventional stove or oven and so a microwave might be the only option in the homes as a source for cooking.

I know my students would greatly appreciate these items in our classroom and would love to be able to cook with new appliances.
