My Project

Help my underserved students who are economically disadvantaged so that their needs can be met while they are at school. With the fridge, snacks, and writing supplies I have in this project, I will be able to provide a safe space for my students where they can be in a good place to learn effectively. My students are very bright and eager to learn, but they would thrive in a more comfortable and resourceful classroom.

As a science teacher, we can use food and other things as examples for experiments.

If my classroom had a fridge, I would be able to expand the experiments I can do with my Chemistry and Earth Science classes.
