My Project
Help us grow—literally! Our classroom dreams of building a hydroponic garden where students can explore science, sustainability, and healthy living through hands-on learning. With your support, we’ll transform a corner of our room into a thriving ecosystem, showing students how food grows without soil. With the bins to organize the different projects and the markers to help our STEM lab draw conclusions. This project will spark curiosity, encourage responsibility, and provide fresh produce they’ve grown themselves. We can’t do it without you! Please consider donating to bring this garden to life. Every dollar plants a seed of knowledge and excitement. Thank you for helping our students grow!
