Ms. Stout from Gary IN is requesting a class trip through DonorsChoose, the most trusted classroom funding site for teachers.

First Grade Adventure

My students need admission and food costs, to experience a farm to its fullest extent. They would have the chance to observe life from a different point of view.

Celebrate Black Teachers and Students

This project is part of the Black History Month celebration because it supports a Black teacher or a school where the majority of the students are Black.

My Students

"The only source of knowledge is experience" Albert Einstein. Please help my students experience life from a vastly different point of view.

My students are an amazing group of 6 and 7 year olds.

Most of my students have difficult home lives, growing up in a low income area. My students rely on coming to school for a stable and inviting environment, which my school tries to provide to each and every student.

My Project

My students would be able to take a field trip to Fair Oaks Farm. They would have the opportunity to experience life on a farm. The students will also have the chance to taste the products produced on the farm, including grilled cheese sandwiches and ice cream.

A field trip will give the students an opportunity to experience a new view on life.

Many of my students have never left the city limits of where they are growing up, let alone been to a farm. This will mean the world to my students.
