My Project

I teach at a middle school in the Reno, Nevada area. We have a diverse population of students who have a love for support their school and community. I am asking for help to alleviate the overall costs of student supplies.

This project will support our school's Student Leadership classes and my 6th Grade Science Classes.

This project would encourage more student group collaborative work. Studies have shown that student collaboration projects can increase students' engagement and motivation to be involved with school and its clubs.

The needed materials in this project will allow student to build their overall school announcements or community outreach announcements, advertisement skills, And Science, Technology, Engineering, Mathematic reports or assignments.

Any help and support would be greatly appreciated!

Mrs. Matilainen will only receive her materials if this project is fully funded by September 3.
