Classroom Supplies

Every classroom has a list of "stuff" that it needs. Some are generic one classroom to another, some are specific to the subject area. Do you have any of this? Items in blue are things we have received!

For many items on this page, monetary donations would be great. Then we can purchase matching sets for the students.

Supplies Needed

Pencil Sharpeners - the old fashioned kind that don't need electricity or batteries but screw onto a piece of wood!
White board markers (and cleaner!) - Done! (Can always use more...)
2 - data projectors plus apple tv for each to make them work wirelessly (the projectors we would like are about $1300 each)

Stapler
3-hole punch
Paper cutter (maybe money toward it...)

Lab equipment - Microscope, beakers, test tubes, slides, etc.

  2. Beginner Slide Set - $355 - includes a variety of slides for students to learn about different types of cells. A good place to start.

  1. Safety Goggles - 20 goggles for $65.
  2. Laboratory Aprons - 25 for about $100. (This style is washable and reusable)
