Science class
Classware, equipment and laboratory contribution
For the science classes of Mr. Snider
Sherman Oaks Center for Enriched Studies
Dear Students and Parents:
In these times of fiscal difficulty I have found it necessary to poll all students of the science classes to find out whether they would donate a one-time laboratory contribution of $15 for the entire school year.
Being the Teacher of many science classes, in addition to the student contributions, I spent last year over $800.00 of my own money. In the past I have spent as much $1,000.00 out of my pocket during the year. This input of money places a burden on me as you can imagine.
The overwhelming majority of students have indicated it would be no problem to pay this equipment and laboratory donation. This donation is voluntary. Please consider it a contribution that will enhance your child’s education at SOCES. The monetary contributions would be used to buy replacement equipment and consumable items for all the students in my classes, as well as other equipment that we use and need including slides, chemicals, glassware, biology kits, frog and other organisms for dissections, and many countless other items that we use in class.
We also need updated laboratory apparatus and larger quantities of apparatus for demonstration and use by the growing number of Science students at SOCES. DONATION OF EQUIPMENT IS WELCOMED.
All funds are strictly accounted for and accounting is done by the students store accounting department.
I sincerely thank you for your help and understanding on this lab contribution. Our labs here at SOCES can use equipment such as a spectrophotometers, microscopes, glassware, chemicals, and just about any lab or computer supplies. Your kind donation of equipment of money to our Science department classes is greatly appreciated.
