Together, we have been able to provide a science center for early finishers to explore their inner scientist.

It warms my heart to see them engaged in STEM activities that inspire creation and experimentation. They are eager to learn, and with your help, we can give them this extension of their learning in an independent way that drives their imagination and supports their understanding of how things work. I appreciate you all, as do my students.","fullyFundedDate":1755698221679,"projectUrl":"project/innovation-station/9347327/","projectTitle":"Innovation Station","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Clugston","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp9569085_orig.jpg?crop=986,986,x183,y140&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1719245344140","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9569085"},{"teacherId":3313902,"projectId":9860908,"letterContent":"Thank you so much for your generous support of our classroom.
