School: Notus Jr. Sr. High

Wish Delivered: Life Science Equipment

Teacher Sherril Skelton says "Our school is within a high-poverty community where access to STEM and wellness experiences is extremely limited. Unfortunately, our current science equipment and instructional resources are outdated or non-existent. This wishlist grant will provide essential laboratory tools including microscopes, lab equipment, models, specimens, student materials, lab furniture, and storage allowing students to participate in meaningful, hands-on investigations rather than textbook-only learning. Additionally, physical education equipment will support lifetime fitness skills, health monitoring, teamwork, and student engagement. These resources will significantly increase hands-on learning, improve scientific understanding, and expand equitable access to high-quality instruction for students who may otherwise have little exposure to STEM or structured physical wellness opportunities."

Wish Delivered: Livestock supplies

Teacher Krysten Davis says "This simulator will provide my students with hands-on experience in a critical livestock management skill that is widely used in the industry. This is the type of skill that they would never be able to get real hands-on experience without this type of simulator. This ensures that all students, regardless of background or access to livestock, gain practical, real-world skills that can lead to industry certifications. I have had this simulator on my radar for years, but the cost has been a major barrier in being able to secure this model."

Wish Delivered: Clear Backpacks

Teacher Luci Roberson says "Our school requires students to use a clear backpack. Majority of our students cannot afford to purchase these on their own so we like to be able to provide them. Our school does not get a big budget and we do not have the money to be able to buy the backpacks on our own."
