Ms. Grueter from Florissant MO is requesting instructional technology through DonorsChoose, the most trusted classroom funding site for teachers.

Help Put Safer Drivers on the Road

Help me give my students the chance to experience driving in real life without actually operating a vehicle. This will help put the students in real life driving situations without the dangers of hurting themselves or others.

Celebrate Black Teachers and Students

This project is part of the Black History Month celebration because it supports a Black teacher or a school where the majority of the students are Black.

My Students

My high school students come to virtual school every day with a love for learning. As 15-18 year-old students, it's easy to help my students love to learn how to drive, it's not as easy when they come with a bag full experiences that even some adults have never experienced. My students face more challenges than most can even imagine, and yet they still find joy in coming to school. Despite all the challenges they face outside of school, they show up every day virtual with a fresh start. It is my job to to take advantage of their loving, kind, curious, thoughtful, and compassionate nature and show them how they can extend that into their lives at home and in their community.

As we are gearing up to transition back into in school learning my students are lacking serious resources needed to become successful students and driver.

I teach in a community and school that has been hard by poverty and the virus.

My Project

As we teach in a difficult time in America, I am teaching a subject everyone needs...Driver Education. We do not have any driving simulators at my school and so the kids are not getting any in car experience. By helping fund this program you are helping students experience in life driving situations without the harm of others or themselves.

This Virtual Reality headset will teach my students how to handle in life driving situations and fix any mistakes they may have without the harm of themselves or others.

This will help produce more efficient and safe drivers on our roadways.
