Chevron Fuel Your School Funds Classroom Projects

Ms. Pike, Teacher
When you look at the different resources that we have, a lot of them are not as engaging as they could be. So, we looked for supplemental resources that help make learning fun and resources for education are expensive.

Narrator
Last year, public school teachers spent an average of approximately $500 of their own money to pay for school supplies and instructional materials needed for their student learning. Across the U.S., this added up to more than one billion dollars in teacher out-of-pocket expenses.

Dr. S. Greenwood, Principal

Its just part of being a teacher. If they want added things in their class, they generally have to purchase it on their own.

Narrator
The Fuel Your School Program is an innovative approach created by Chevron and DonorsChoose.org to support education for public schools, in certain areas of the country, by helping fund eligible teacher projects, giving them the resources to better engage their students in their educationincluding projects in STEM subjects: science, technology, engineering, and math.

Dale Walsh, President, Chevron Americas Products

Ive sat in some of the classrooms that received funding for, whether it was games or science equipment, the tools that the teachers need to really help teach the kids in a more effective way, and the impact it has on the teachers and the students, when you see it first hand, in their faces, is absolutely unbelievable.

Carolina Martin, DonorsChoose.org

Donorchoose.orgs corporate partnership with Chevron is simply amazing. We are able to look at the needs that teachers have for their students and make that happen. And bring books, and bring materials, and computers to life, and really help teachers during this crisis of budget cuts, and make learning come alive again.

Narrator
Chevron is making it easy for everyone to help public school students, in certain areas of the country, through the Fuel Your School Program. First, public school teachers at schools located in the programs designated areas submit projects detailing the materials and supplies they need for their classroom projects at DonorsChoose.org. Then, during the month of October, everyone can help

Andrea Bailey, Chevron Employee

Of course, the biggest benefit is the students because theyre the ones that reap the rewards, and theyre the ones that are inspired, and empowered by the teachers to learn.

Ms. Owens, Teacher

I think Ive had more aha moments in this classroom since weve had more hands-on material, and newer material. The children are so thrilled to have these, these items in their classroom.

Dr. S. Greenwood, Principal

I appreciate the Fuel Your School Program because its benefited our students and our staff to be able to have hands-on science activities, programs, and projects.

Ms. Vanier, Teacher

Fuel Your School has benefited my school because its allowed me to actually think about, What do I actually want to do with the students?not, What can I do with the students?
