Because of your generosity, my classroom is now better equipped to offer safe, hands-on science experiences that truly bring learning to life.\r\n\r\nLab investigations are a vital part of science education, but safety is always our top priority. These lab aprons allow my students to confidently participate in experiments without worrying about spills, stains, or exposure to materials. More importantly, they help students feel like real scientists—prepared, responsible, and ready to learn.\r\n\r\nYour support directly impacts my students by removing barriers to participation. Every student now has access to proper safety equipment, which promotes equity, engagement, and confidence in the lab. I have already seen an increase in excitement and focus during our investigations, and my students take great pride in wearing their aprons while conducting experiments.\r\n\r\nThank you for believing in my students and investing in their education.

Each choir section now has some of the stools and each day they rotate who gets to sit on the stools.

Through your support, Chattooga High School students have access to basic equipment for the physics section of physical science.

This equipment allowed students to work in pairs instead of groups of five students, which provided equity and inclusion. This hands-on investigation allowed students the opportunity to inquire into Galileo's theory of falling objects. Due to your donations, my goal for students to plan and carry out their own inquiry into free fall was accomplished.

They were excited to look through the books and select a song to perform after our spring concert and to hopefully perform on stage during our musical production next year. The males in my choir were in awe that I had musical theatre book just for them- (they are used to the females having their own stuff, but they rarely do, so for them, this was an unexpected surprise.) The males were also surprised when they opened the book and there were not only solos but also duets. \r\n\r\nI recently attended a conference. While I was away, I left an assignment for the students- they had to select one of the songs from the musical theatre books and do a score study, character analysis, and have the song ready to sing in front of me when I returned. I explained to the students before I left that this was the start of their project that would take place after the spring concert. While away, the substitute sent me pictures of the students working diligently and talked about how excited they were to be doing this. She also mentioned how they loved having the accompaniment track.\r\n\r\n\r\nBecause of you and your generosity, my students now have a greater love for music theatre and better knowledge and understanding of the musical theatre genre.
