Support classrooms by supporting science ed!

By sporte on November 1, 2010.

Funding raising drives come and go but the need to educate the coming generations in science and math never goes away.

With your help, teachers can help their students.

DonorsChoose.org is an online charity that connects individuals, like you, to classrooms in need. The average public school teacher spends $500 - $700 on classroom supplies out of his/her own pocket, and students still go without critical supplies they need to learn. At DonorsChoose, teachers post requests for classroom equipment and supplies, like microscopes, DNA kits, even field trips to the zoo, and you can help fund them

Read about the classroom projects funded by DonorsChoose and if you can, please visit my Science Bloggers for Students Page and make a donation. Thanks!
