My Project

I would like to purchase a hydroponics garden for my classroom. This item will be used inside the classroom for my special education students. They will grow their own fruits and vegetables and use them to cook with. This will correlate with science, independent functioning, math, and social skills.

My students are amazing human beings that love to learn.

I would love to give them this opportunity. Our curriculum includes cooking so I think this would be a great experience for each of them.

I would appreciate this opportunity. Thank you.

This project will directly impact historically underfunded classrooms.
