Microwave for Students

Help me give my students an important lunch time resource for them to utilize.

FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. Akana's classroom raised $259

This project is fully funded

My Project

Creating this here for neighboring teacher who shares my microwave with her students.

Would like for her to have one of her own so it is easily accessible for her students as she has her own students as well as athletes that come into her classroom during lunch time.

In addition, I have many student-athletes who will be utilizing the microwave as well before they leave campus for games so having this resource would be incredibly beneficial for all parties involved.

Cost for a microwave is less than what was quoted here. Donations/gently used microwaves are also of course welcomed.

Thank you very much in advance. Even though breakfast and lunch is provided, some students bring snacks and other items that require a microwave.
