My Project

My learners are curious, determined, and full of potential. They come from diverse backgrounds and bring unique perspectives into our classroom every day. Many face significant challenges both inside and outside of school, but majority of them show up eager to learn, explore, and grow.

We are a Title I school where the majority of our learners receive free or reduced lunch.

Despite limited resources, my learners are incredibly resilient. They love hands-on experiments, meaningful discussions, and opportunities to see how science connects to their lives and futures.

They thrive when given the chance to engage with real-world applications of science and work collaboratively to solve problems. Your support will not only provide essential tools and materials it will empower my learners to see themselves as scientists, leaders, and change-makers.

Mrs. Millen Dr Marian G. Lacey K-8 Academy Grades 6-8

Celebrate Black teachers and kids! This project supports a Black teacher or a school where the majority of students are Black.
