Celebrate Black Teachers and Students

This project is part of the Black History Month celebration because it supports a Black teacher or a school where the majority of the students are Black.

My Students

My students work hard and want to learn. Help them achieve their dreams. I am doing all that I can to bring science to my students in a fun and educational way. The students enjoy doing the fun experiments and labs, being able to see for themselves that things they are learning about really do happen. Keep that energy and hope alive in them and help us get some of the things we need. They are energized and their questions are stimulating. More than half of my students come from low-income households.

My Project

I'm in need of these locking cabinets to store all of the great science materials that I have been given. I purchased the chemicals needed to make a density column for my 7th grade students and I want to make sure that the alcohol is stored out of their reach.

Safety is my first priority!

Please help me to ensure the safety of my students by allowing me to replace my broken cabinets with cabinets that are more secure. I haven't ordered many supplies for my biology or chemistry classes because I have nowhere secure to store the required materials. Your donations and support is greatly appreciated.
