This project is a part of the Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month celebration because it supports a Latino teacher or a school where the majority of students are Latino.

My Project

Help our students experience the Solar Eclipse with protective eye wear!

Securing a grant for 200 solar eclipse safety glasses would profoundly benefit students in grades K-4, providing a unique and enriching learning experience while prioritizing their safety.

With these glasses, students can directly observe celestial events like solar eclipses, igniting curiosity and fostering a deeper understanding of science and astronomy. By safely experiencing natural phenomena firsthand, young learners engage in hands-on exploration, enhancing their scientific literacy and critical thinking skills. Moreover, this grant ensures equitable access to educational resources, empowering all students to participate fully in the wonder of scientific discovery.
