Santa Rita High School students in Tucson, Arizona have designed an outdoor classroom and desert habitat.  The students wish to create an area on campus that is not only conducive to learning, but also an area to relax and one that supports plant and animal life that is native to the Sonoran Desert.  We are applying for a Heritage Fund grant through the Arizona Game and Fish Department to assist with construction.  One of the criteria for winning the grant is to be able to provide matching funds or "in kind" donations.  Our hope is to be able to include in our September 2016 grant proposal, the amount of money and in kind donations we have raised.

Our design may cost up to $60,000 in materials and labor.  We believe that we can raise that through crowdfunding and with support from our community.  Please consider helping us attain our goal.  You can donate cash through EdBacker or you can contact us directly to make a committment on donating materials or volunteer labor to the project.

If you wish to commit to donating materials or volunteer labor, please send your written committment letter outlining what you can donate to:
