Electric Range for a Special Needs Classroom

Help me give my students a new range! Our current range is very old and one of the burners on top does not work. The oven is also very sensitive and we really just need an update!

My Students

I teach functional academics which is a self-contained special education class. My students have low incident disabilities that hinder them from being in general education. I have 8 fantastic students in my class. They are all extremely loving students who are full of life and embrace each and every day. They are passionate about cooking and always love to learn new things. Getting a new refrigerator for the classroom would help them expand their knowledge of living independently after high school.

My Project

Getting a new electric range will improve our classroom greatly! We are starting to make breakfast tacos for the teachers and with our current range (which is at least 20 years old) it is more difficult to do so. One of the burners is out and the oven doesn’t heat properly. We also do cooking activities every week where the students all get to participate in cooking a meal each week. We also have multiple parties that involve food and cooking, and a new range would help out with this as well! Please help my students with special needs acquire a new electric range!
