Celebrating Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

Celebrate Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

This project is a part of the Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month celebration because it supports a Latino teacher or a school where the majority of students are Latino.

My Project

I am requesting an ant farm, pumps, tubing, and grow lights to teach my students about ecosystems, engineering, and hydroponics through hands-on STEM learning. These tools will provide engaging, real-world applications of science and technology, fostering critical thinking and problem-solving skills. Pencils and Chromebook chargers will ensure students are prepared to complete their assignments and fully participate in lessons. Additionally, candy will serve as a motivational reward to keep students focused and excited about learning. Your support will help create an inspiring, well-equipped STEM learning environment for all my students.

Mrs. Dalrymple McClintock Middle School Grades 6-8

Celebrate Black teachers and kids! This project supports a Black teacher or a school where the majority of students are Black.
