“The Annual Fund provides my classroom with resources so my students can explore science through lab experiments. Because the Annual Fund supports the residential program and extracurriculars, I am able to know and learn about students from all over the world and support their interests. I am a better teacher when I know my students better. Because of the Annual Fund, I can do just that.”
