My Project

We are seeking your support for our exciting classroom project that aims to provide our students with a unique and hands on experience. Our goal is to hatch chicks in our classroom and teach our students about the importance of animal care, sustainability, and life cycles.

To make this project possible, we need an incubator and supplies for our chicks.

With your generous donation, we can purchase a high-quality incubator that will maintain a consistent temperature and humidity level for our eggs to hatch successfully.

Additionally, we need supplies such as feeders, waterers, and a heat source to ensure the chicks are healthy and comfortable.
