Help Us Prepare For The Science Fair!

My students need 300 tri-fold display display boards so that the students can display their amazing scientific findings to the public!

FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. Olson's classroom raised $869

My Students

Have you ever worked extremely hard on something, but no one was able to see your great work? I want to prevent this from happening to my students when they conduct their science fair experiments!

I know of 300 bright, curious, determined sixth, seventh and eighth graders in a charter school in the inner city in Missouri that would LOVE to share their knowledge with the city.

My students are so inquisitive, I just KNOW that their science fair projects will rock this year!

My Project

My students are prepared to put work into conducting a science fair project and recording their findings. Tri-fold display boards will allow them to share their projects with fellow classmates, parents, teachers and families all over the city. Most of my students have the goal of presenting in the Greater City Science Fair, in which they are REQUIRED to create a display board. Please help to make this possible!

Although the school is located in an area of high poverty, I want my students to know that they can compete with the best of them!

There is no reason that a student whose parent or school has more money should automatically place in the science fair, never giving my students a chance. My students CAN do this--with your help!
