Microscopes For Investigating the World Around Us

Help me give my students microscopes to replace our old and failing inventory!

FULLY FUNDED! Mr. Decker's classroom raised $975

This project is fully funded

My Project

The microsopes I am requesting will replace some of our current inventory. Many of our current microscopes are no longer working. By supporting this project you will give my students an opportunity to explore the microscopic world throughout the year as we study biology.

These microscopes will be critical to fostering an inquisitive mindset amongst my students.

We want to do all we can to inspir the next generation to ask questions and appreciate and marvel at the world around him. Supporting this project will benefit our entire 7-12 population as we have one set of microscopes that the HS and MS share.

Thank you!
