My Students

Our school is a school with 94.5% of students who are from low-income homes. While their families may be low on resources, our students are filled with a desire to learn. They simply need more resources to help them learn. I hope that you are able to help them.

As a teacher, I am helping to develop tomorrow's Scientists.

My students are in need of hands Math and Science resources. Due to the pandemic, working in groups is no longer an option. So every student will need his/her own set of materials.

Please help support future Math and Science Innovators!

My Project

These materials will allow my students to have a hands-on learning resource that will be theirs to keep. It will allow them to be exposed to current Science news and activities that are not in their curriculum. Also, it will foster discussion between students about various articles and activities. This will foster an interest and love of Science in my students. This subscription will not only give each of them a physical magazine, it will give each of them access to the online resources as well, where they will be able to engage in interactive Science activities to stimulate their interest and love of Science.
