Ecosystems Classroom Project at Flat Shoals Elementary

This project will give students direct real-life experience with food chains/webs, as they dissect the owl pellets and discover the bones of their prey which they can then match with a skeleton chart to see which animals they have consumed. This directly correlates with the standards in the fourth-grade science unit of Ecosystems. The money will be used to purchase 5 science kits, one for each 4th grade class. Ms. Potts has done this project with previous classes and says it is one of the most engaging activities she’s ever seen with students!

Goal: $315.60 FULLY Funded - Thank you Tasha Cox for your generosity!

The WBES News Show Needs a Makeover!

The WBES News Show starts each day at Barksdale Elementary with a positive message and showcases important happenings in our school and community. We are in desperate need of a newsroom makeover. This project would include a backdrop stand with seasonal backdrops, rings lights, a new web camera with a tripod, student microphones, and uniforms for our hosts. These items will make our production more professional and give all the students at Barksdale a brighter start to each day. Looking for monetary or in-kind donations of new or gently used equipment listed above.

Goal: $425 or in-kind donations ($25 received, thank you Dr. Murphy!)

Exceptional Garden at Heritage HS

The self-contained special education classes of Heritage High School would like to beautify the garden behind the school.  We are looking to make it more aesthetically pleasing as you drive around the school and make it more of an outdoor classroom for our classes. We are looking for outdoor furniture, some good soil for the planters, shepherd hooks, bird feeders, hummingbird feeders, bird seed, garden cages, and water hoses to get us started. We appreciate both monetary and in-kind donations. Drop off a bag of bird seed and a feeder for us and we will put it to great use!

Goal: $800 or in-kind donations

Help Salem Rebuild Softball and Baseball Teams

As the Head Baseball & Softball Coach at Salem HS, I seek your support as we are in a rebuilding phase of both programs. We need things beyond our normal fundraising capacity, such as all new helmets and even dirt! All donations are greatly appreciated. A team sponsor who can take on a big project (like all the helmets) would be a game changer for our program. See you at the ballgame!

Make American History Come Alive with Children’s Literature at FSE

I would like to bring history alive for my students through the use of children's literature. What better way to make history come alive for my fifth-grade students than through children's literature! Our American History unit begins with World War I, The Great Depression and into World War II. We wrap up the school yar talking about the Korean War, Vietnam War, The Cold War and Civil Rights along with economic education. Along with these events, we study important figures of our American history.
Please consider helping me teach my students through engaging them in both literature and history with historical fiction. I also have an Amazon wish list to directly purchase books. Thank you! https://www.amazon.com/hz/wishlist/ls/1VLFNU5V0P53?ref_=wl_share

Goal: $850 or books from the list!
