Mr. Nardelli from Melbourne FL is requesting a class trip through DonorsChoose, the most trusted classroom funding site for teachers.

A Time for Longhorns to Shine!

My students need help paying for their end of middle school field trip. This is a great opportunity for our 8th graders to attend a fun filled evening with friends at Universal Studios.

My Students

Over half of our students come from low-income households. A trip to a theme park would most likely be out of the question for them. GradVenture will be for our 8th graders to celebrate with all their friends and experience the thrills of BOTH Universal Orlando theme parks.

When they attend Orlando's only two-park middle school graduation celebration they'll enjoy multiple DJ's, plenty of street entertainment, and the most exciting rides and attractions around.

It's an unbeatable night of thrills in a safe, supervised environment. Best of all, a voucher for dinner in the parks is included making for the utmost in fun and convenience! This will be their last fun and memorable field trip before attending high school next year!

My Project

Our 8th grade 'graduates' can celebrate with all their friends as they enjoy complete, private access to Universal Studios Florida and Universal’s Islands of Adventure all night long.

Many of our students cannot afford a fun 'graduation' event such as GradVenture.

Our goal is to have all of our 8th graders (who want to attend) enjoy this field trip.

Gradventure includes Universal's Islands of Adventure and Universal Studios. Students will enjoy the world’s most cutting edge rides and attractions at both parks, stepping into their favorite movies, TV shows and stories. A voucher for dinner is included with event admission, making it easier for planning and convenience!
