Celebrating Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month
This project is a part of the Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month celebration because
it supports a Latino teacher or a school where the majority of students are Latino.
My Project
Science materials, such as lab equipment, models, and interactive tools, help students understand complex concepts in a more hands-on, engaging way. This can improve their comprehension and make learning more exciting. Many schools, especially those in underfunded areas such as ours, lack the budget for science materials.
Donating these resources ensures that students who might otherwise miss out on essential learning experiences, have access to the tools they need.
Science is a subject that thrives on exploration and experimentation.
Providing the materials needed for experiments will inspire curiosity and critical thinking in students, helping them develop problem-solving skills and a love for discovery. Science education helps prepare students for a wide range of careers in technology, engineering, medicine, and more. By donating materials, you’re investing in the future success of students, encouraging them to pursue STEM fields that can lead to innovative careers.
Our classroom is limited in areas of comfortable working stations and many children prefer the floor. Bean bags and a nice rug are more sanitary then the public school flooring, offering them a place to sit and work in their preferred learning styles.
Nearly all students from low‑income households
Data about students' economic need comes from the National Center for Education Statistics, via our partners at MDR Education. Learn more
