Lab Makeover

Help me give my students at our school a science lab “makeover” to enhance their learning experience.

FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. Wright's classroom raised $1,492

This project is fully funded

My Project

Our lab at our school is in need of a “makeover” to enhance the learning experience for our students, including notebooks, owl pellet kits, balances, and more! As we enter our second year of operation, it's evident that our current setup lacks some essential elements for creating an effective scientific learning enviroment.

This project is not just a one-time fix; it's an investment in the future of science education at our school.

By adding much needed equiptment and new hands-on projects for this school year, we hope to create a lasting impact that will benefit students and our community for years to come.

Students are going to love the projects that we are planning for them to work on this year. I'd like to give each student as many of hands-on opportunities as possible. But, I can't make them happen without your financial support. Please consider giving to our project this year.
