Donations needed for our Science Lab!

Posted on March 13, 2012 by sawneeptaorg

The Sawnee Elementary PTA is in the infant stages of implementing a Science Lab for our students and teachers to use.   Our goal is to have the Science Lab ready for the 2012-2013 school year.  Many other schools in Forsyth County have a science lab and it has been proven to enrich students’ knowledge of science and further develop their understanding of technology.

As with any new project, much needed resources and monies will be needed to get the lab started.  While we will be utilizing some fundraising monies to finance the lab, we are also graciously asking corporations and organizations for donations to aid us in procuring the necessary supplies and equipment.   We have listed some of the basic items we need:

  • Microscopes
  • Lab coats
  • Safety goggles
  • Safety goggles disinfection unit
  • Aquarium tanks
  • Barometers
  • Beakers (plastic)
  • Butterfly garden
  • Compasses
  • Compost container
  • Containers (plastic – all sizes)
  • Eye Droppers
  • Litmus papers
  • Mineral Kits
  • Petri Dishes
  • Pipe Cleaners
  • Rain Gauge
  • Scales
  • Scratch Plates
  • Slides
  • Spectroscope
  • Test Tubes and Test Tube Holders
  • Thermometers
  • Timers

In addition to items needed, monetary funding is needed as well.   Any contribution is helpful.  As a token of our appreciation, we will be properly recognizing the companies/organizations for their donation. All donations are tax deductible. 

We thank you in advance for your generosity.   Please contact Julia Bonogofsky at 678-525-2200 or juliabono@comcast.net for more information.  We look forward to the unveiling of the SES Science Lab!

Have you earned BoxTops for your school? See how easy it is. . .‏

Posted on March 31, 2012 by sawneeptaorg

Have you earned BoxTops for your school?

Help us earn cash for our new Sawnee Elementary Science Lab by clipping Box Tops coupons from hundreds of participating products. Box Tops also offers easy ways to earn even more cash for your school online. Also, watch your savings add up every month when you print and use coupons for Box Tops products.

Go to http://www.boxtops4education.com to find more ways to earn cash. Each box top is worth 10 cents.

It’s easy to tape a ziplock bag on the inside of your kitchen cabinet door and start collecting. Then just send in the baggie with your child. Next collection will be in May.

We will be collecting all year, and again in the next school year, to help support our new exciting Science Lab. It is going to be an awesome interactive resource to challenge and motivate your child to learn more about science. So continue clipping all year, it’s easy cash for Sawnee!!
