My Project
Middle school is such a critical time for students to discover who they are and what they care about. That’s why projects like our Planet Protectors initiative are so important—they empower students to explore real-world challenges like climate change through hands-on learning, creativity, and collaboration. As a lifelong Captain Planet and the Planeteers fan, I believe deeply in the power of young people to change the world when they're given the tools and the trust to try. This project gives them both.
It’s about more than just reading or crafting—it’s about planting seeds of responsibility, resilience, and hope.
The specific items we’re asking for—craft supplies, seeds, 3D printing filament, a classroom set of Hoot, and a bird-watching camera—aren’t just “stuff.” Just like the recycled materials students will collect aren’t just "trash." They’re tools for learning that reach students who don’t always thrive with traditional methods. These materials will help them create eco-kits, seed bombs, upcycled crafts, and 3D-printed tools inspired by what they’ve learned about protecting the planet. Hoot ties literacy to environmental themes, while the bird camera builds real-world connections through nature observation. Together, these projects blend science, reading, art, and tech in ways that feel real and meaningful. Every donation fuels student creativity and purpose.
What makes my students so special is their spark—they’re curious, clever, and constantly surprising me with their questions and insights. They’re funny, energetic, and full of potential. Many are still discovering what learning means to them, and projects like this one help them see themselves as inventors, leaders, and changemakers. They deserve every opportunity to shine, and with a little support (and a lot of heart), I know they will. As Captain Planet always said, “The power is yours!”
