My Students

I teach science in an urban high school in Durham, NC. I am learning as much from my students as they are from me, and couldn’t imagine life any other way.

My students are doing great in physical science this semester, but need calculators in order to excel in their studies.

We are borrowing some from other teachers but would like some permanent residents for our classroom. We would appreciate any help in reaching our goal! Thank you for your consideration!

My Project

The access and use of calculators are paramount in the physics portion of physical science. Many of my kids struggle with math and would find the donation of calculators helpful as we learn physics. I am a science teacher, but my ultimate goal is having my students walk out of my classroom with confidence, goals, and determination every day.

Your donation will not only help them learn but develop confidence in science and mathematics!

I know if they can get the basics, they will be able to run through the glass ceiling and take pride in the accomplishments. Thank you for taking us into consideration and have a wonderful day.
