Ms Van Patten with a student

Ways to help:

This year, my classroom is growing! With 12 more students than last year, I need your help.

I’m planning an exciting Revolutionary War Wax Museum project, where each student will embody a historical figure and bring them to life for the class and our school community. To make this experience truly special, I need to purchase 12 more Revolutionary War costumes that range from $30-$50. Every costume will help transport them into history and make their presentations unforgettable.

In addition to the wax museum, I’m also preparing an interactive volcano unit, which includes hands-on experiments and projects. To provide the best materials for students, I need funding for thesupplies that will allow them to create their own volcanic eruptions and better understand the science behind them.

Finally, after the wax museum, I have a surprise culminating activity planned that will wrap up our historical journey in a fun and meaningful way. Your support will ensure that all these exciting projects come to life!

Any contribution, large or small, makes a difference. Every dollar helps us provide materials and experiences that inspire learning and create lasting memories for our students.

Thank you for your continued support and for helping make this year’s classroom adventures a reality!

With gratitude,
