Extra Yard For Teachers Project – UCF

My students need for educational inequity to end, and be given the best education.

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Thomas's classroom raised $370

This project is fully funded

My Students

My students are kind, funny, and smart! They persevere through hard times, and encourage one another when things are complicated. Sometimes they get down, but they can pick up a positive attitude after a little breather.

Failure is not an option to my students.

My students work hard, and although, my students deserve nothing but the best, they may not get all the things they deserve, that doesn't stop them from pushing harder. My students are apart of the next generation to rise up.

My Project

My students may never get the opportunity to explore places outside of Jacksonville, Fl. My students will be given the opportunity to visit The University of Florida and get a taste of college. My students are intelligent, and deserve a great education that will allow them to succeed with confidence that they can achieve greatness and make a difference in this world!

We will not let society tell us what we cannot achieve, but show them what we can achieve.

These students will get to see what college is like and get them excited to go one day! This is something that not every child gets to experience in school. Allowing them to go on this trip, gives the students encouragement to do their best in school!
