Dear Friends –
It’s been a very exciting year at Science is Elementary, and we couldn’t have done it without you. Our impact has grown tremendously thanks to over a thousand volunteers, long-time supporters, and those who just started supporting us this year. Our fabulous staff has worked tirelessly to ensure we make science as accessible as possible to as many children as possible, with a focus on communities underrepresented in science and engineering.
This year we brought inspiring, innovative, high-quality science experiences to more than 53,000 children. You read that right. We quintupled our reach compared to last year and have grown more than tenfold in just two years.
Our Science is for Me program (renamed from SiE Books to better reflect its goals and align with our values) reached children in three states and Europe! Jasmine and José, the protagonists of our stories, brought hands-on science and scientific reasoning to homes, school classrooms, and afterschool programs in California (North Sacramento to the Central Valley and West to Salinas), Michigan, North Carolina, and even as far as Cardiff, Wales.
We have big goals, and we need your help.
Help us reach new partners by telling your friends and family, near and far, about Science is Elementary. Tell your school principal and PTA about us. Let your employer know we can engage groups in team-building activities while assembling our science kits.
Please also consider making a donation so that we can continue to bring science experiences to the children who need them most.
With gratitude,
Tzipor
