Plant a Succulent for the Heart

Help me give my students planting materials to create 'Thank You Succulents' to show appreciation to their life coaches.

FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. Onza's classroom raised $409

This project is fully funded

My Project

The "Plant a Succulent for the Heart" will be a final piece to the projects in Quarters 1 and 2, where students are asked to work with their life coaches, such as a parent, to help them navigate through questions such as Who am I?, Why am I here?, Where am I going?

The project will be an opportunity for the students to appreciate individuals who have helped them get through life journey, most especially as immigrants to Hawaii.

The succulents will be provided for by the teacher, and the students will be asked to bring in old coffee mugs to be used as pots. DonorsChoose is asked to provide soil; rocks to sprinkle at the top as soil coverage; and the Rubbermaid storage container will be used to store the hose and nozzle (included in the request), and left over supplies and gardening tools that were previously covered by DonorsChoose.
