My Students

Our school is located in Savannah, Georgia. We have about 1,000 students. I teach about 30 AP environmental science students and about 100 physics students.

My students are eager to explore issues in environmental science as well as conceptual physics.

The students I teach are between the ages of 14 and 18 years old. They are caring, kind, intelligent, curious, and compassionate. They want to conduct scientific investigations and understand the complex problems associated with physics and environmental science. These young scientists want to explore, problem-solve, collaborate, think critically, collect and analyze data, identify solutions, and share their results. They will be future educators, laborers, engineers, doctors, lawyers, and politicians, and I want them to have the best learning experience possible.

My Project

Schools are full of people and people need paper towels. Students (and people) can make messes. We would appreciate your help in supplying our classroom with paper towels.

This order of strong, absorbent paper towel will be extremely useful and appreciated.

We want to pick up spills quickly and efficiently and get back to learning! Sometimes life gets messy. Help us get those messes cleaned up quickly so we can get back to investigating, calculating, and running simulations. We hope you can help support this project and get this practical and necessary item into our classroom.
