Dirty (Several) Dozen Soil Samples for University, Pueblo, and Tucson High Schools

Patricia Wheeler asked for soil sample kits to benefit 480 students annually in four different classrooms at three different high schools, University High School, Pueblo High School, and Tucson High School. The kits enable students to make authentic quantitative measurements of pH, nitrogen, potassium, and phosphorus for multiple lab experiences in Earth Science classes. The Rincon Rotary enjoyed getting its hands dirty funding this project.

Rincon Rotary's support is part of its Rotary LOCAL program, whose mission is to help improve the local community through educational outreach. Rotary LOCAL can provide manpower, resources from local business partners, or in some cases, direct financial support to teachers who apply for assistance.
