Mrs. Stokes, a science teacher at Morton West was able to guide 5 students to the state level science competition thanks in part to CARES members generous donations at The Morton West Mini Challenge at Donors Choose. Here is a note of thanks from Mrs. Stokes to CARES members:
Dear Berwyn CARES:
Thank you all for giving to this project and for supporting the scientific process.
My students gain so many benefits from participation in the science fair that I can't image not providing them this opportunity. Your donations have made this a little easier.
We have 5 students that moved on to the state level of competition this year and we hope to increase that for next year. I can't wait to share my students' thank you notes with you next fall so you can hear about their ideas for their projects.
Science education isn't just about learning facts but about using information to solve problems and make our world a better place. It's also about using data to make well informed decisions. These are skills that everyone needs not just scientists. The science fair project helps my students hone these skills.
Thank you again, I'm so glad I found donorschoose.org. It's a heartwarming experience to find a community of wonderful, giving people like yourselves.
With gratitude,
Ms. S.
Berwyn CARES also helped fund a classroom set of high interest books for students to use during Silent Sustained Reading. Teachers give students time to read in class for pleasure, but many did not have a good book in which to get lost! Now they do, thanks to you.
There are still 3 unfunded project in the Morton West Mini-Challenge. Please consider making a small donation today!
There are classrooms in need of digital cameras, printers, calculators and other supplies that will make the learning environment rich and the lessons much more engaging for these deserving students! Together, we can make a difference!
