One of the projects that The Southern Fried Science Network and friends supported during the Donor’s Choose initiative, “A Look Inside: Squid Dissection” aimed to get squid dissection kits for a class from Wicklund Elementary School in California to use in their biology lessons. I’m happy to say that this project is fully funded, and Mr. L’s class will get their squids (and get to dissect them, too!) Here’s the thank-you letter he sent:

Thank you all for supporting my class and helping to support my project. It is so hard in this day to teach Science in fun and creative ways. My students are eagerly waiting to do this project. They have been very excited about this since I mentioned it to them. I can’t wait to tell them that this project is now a go!

Your donation will help my students gain the practical knowledge needed to conduct a real science experiment.

On behalf of my students, thank you very much!

You should be proud of yourselves, dear generous donors (readers or not.) It’s a good day when a kid learns about a squid.
