My Project
Providing our students with binoculars will greatly enhance their ability to study the climate and environment during our upcoming trip to Costa Rica. With access to high-quality optics, students will be able to closely observe bird species in their natural habitats, many of which serve as key indicators of environmental health. Bird watching will allow them to make real-time connections between wildlife behavior, weather patterns, and habitat conditions, deepening their understanding of biodiversity and ecosystem dynamics. Binoculars will transform this experience from a passive tour into an immersive, hands-on learning opportunity that fosters curiosity, critical thinking, and a lasting appreciation for conservation.
Nearly all students from low‑income households
