My Project
We are reaching out to request your support in helping bring a meaningful and enriching experience to a kindergarten classroom in a low-income neighborhood. Our goal is to introduce a classroom pet fish along with a fully equipped aquarium setup. This project goes far beyond simply adding a pet to the room—it offers a unique, hands-on learning opportunity that promotes responsibility, empathy, and care for living things. With your generous donation, we will be able to provide a quality fish tank, filtration system, aquatic decorations, food, and all the necessary supplies to create a safe and engaging habitat. Students will take part in feeding the fish, monitoring its environment, and assisting with routine care, giving them a sense of ownership and pride in their classroom.
These daily responsibilities help build essential life skills such as cooperation, consistency, and compassion—qualities that benefit their academic and personal development.
Your support, no matter the amount, will help us create a more engaging, dynamic, and nurturing learning environment. Together, we can give these young learners a valuable experience they will remember for years to come.
