Help me give my students an opportunity to have a reptile tank for our bearded dragon in our school so that students can learn about and care for a school pet.
FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Heil's classroom raised $744

My Project
The students are bright, loving and enthusiastic. They are motivated to learn, but do need brain breaks and a calming atmosphere in order to succeed in their school day. "Beardie", our bearded dragon, has been in our school family for over the past 6 years and can provide just that!
The whole school has a love and respect for our reptile friend, and having our reptile terrarium, in a communal space, will give our students an opportunity to visit our scaly friend while also benefitting from a soothing self regulating corner, where Beardie will be displayed.
In addition, students will be able to learn about bearded dragons and their habitat, as well as their life cycle and diet. This is an amazing opportunity for our school and will truly create amazing opportunities for learning and social emotional growth.
More than half of students from low‑income households
Data about students' economic need comes from the National Center for Education Statistics, via our partners at MDR Education. Learn more
