My Project

On this and future Earth Days, let's cultivate a passion for environmental stewardship and scientific curiosity in our middle school students. With your generous support, we aim to enrich our classroom library with a diverse selection of Earth Day books and materials that will inspire young minds to explore and protect our planet.

We seek to procure a variety of engaging books that celebrate the beauty of our planet and educate students about environmental issues.

These resources will be seamlessly integrated into our science curriculum, enriching classroom discussions and fostering a deeper understanding of environmental science concepts. Students will have the opportunity to engage in interdisciplinary activities that connect Earth Day themes with subjects such as language arts, art, and social studies.

Please consider donating. Thank you!

Ms. Lape
Grades 6-8
