Your generosity has made a real difference in our students' learning experiences.\r\nOur students—who come from Bridgeport and seven surrounding towns—are deeply engaged in STEM education with a unique aquaculture twist. Thanks to your support, they now have access to new materials that allow them to explore the science of food production in a hands-on, meaningful way. \r\n\r\nStudents are busy building the raised garden bed sets and learning how to set up cold seed stratification systems. This way, we will be ready to plant the beds in the greenhouse in early spring. Some of the rolling trellis's ordered, with your help, have been rolled into our hatchery where students are planting green beans side-by-side with aquaponics systems. \r\n\r\n These projects are helping them connect classroom learning to real-world environmental challenges—and inspiring some to consider careers in, horticulture, aquaculture, environmental science, and engineering.\r\n\r\nYour contribution didn't just fund supplies—it helped build confidence, curiosity, and a deeper understanding of the world around them. We're so grateful for your support and excited to keep you updated on all the amazing things our students are doing next.","fullyFundedDate":1757504736608,"projectUrl":"project/green-thumbs-up/9457976/","projectTitle":"Green Thumbs Up!","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Turner","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-7_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/115572"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_59477","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":120,"numTeachers":null,"percentFrplEligible":88,"percentAsian":1,"percentBlack":25,"percentWhite":7,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":54,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"9 - 12","studentTeacherRatio":null,"demographicsDataSource":"MDR District Record","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":false,"metroType":"URBAN","ncesMetroType":null},"inStateSupporters":51.6,"schoolId":59477,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Bpt Regional Vocational Aquaculture School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Bpt Regional Vocational Aquaculture School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/connecticut/bridgeport-public-schools/bpt-regional-vocational-aquaculture-school/59477"}
