This week, we’re shining a light on two exciting projects aimed at enhancing education for students in Washington and Oklahoma.
First, let’s meet Mrs. Riviera, a librarian at an elementary school in Washington. She wants to add climate-focused books to her library. These award-nominated titles will help children learn about their impact on the environment. There’s a special incentive this week—donations will be doubled thanks to a generous supporter.
Project #1: The Science Behind Climate Change and Our Environment
- Location: Olivia Park Elementary School, Everett, Washington
- Total needed: $350.58 (with matching funds)
- Still needed: $335.34
Mrs. Riviera explains that her students love non-fiction books, especially those that relate to pressing issues like climate change. These topics are crucial as they empower students to understand the world around them and inspire future generations of environmental leaders.
Project #2: Rural High School Biology and Chemistry Lab Needs Supplies!
Turning to Oklahoma, we meet Mr. Wooten, who is educating high school students in a small town. His biology and chemistry labs are in dire need of updates.
- Location: Gore High School, Gore, Oklahoma
- Total needed: $890.87 (with matching funds)
- Still needed: $790.87
Mr. Wooten aims to provide essential supplies, allowing students to perform hands-on experiments safely. By choosing versatile and reusable items, he hopes to enhance learning for multiple classes.
Providing updated materials in science education is not just about equipment; it’s about creating an engaging environment where curiosity thrives. A recent survey indicates that hands-on learning can increase student engagement by over 50%, critical in today’s educational landscape.
Both projects align with the mission of The Inoculation Project, which has been supporting science, math, and literacy in public schools since 2009. By focusing on schools with a high percentage of low-income students, this initiative seeks to bridge educational gaps.
DonorsChoose.org facilitates these projects, ensuring that donations go directly to the specified needs. They’ve been rated highly by Charity Navigator and the Better Business Bureau, highlighting their commitment to transparency and effectiveness.
Support for educational projects can transform lives. Every small contribution counts, making a significant impact on students’ futures.
