My Project

Our students have been eagerly looking forward to this field trip, but we almost had to cancel due to financial concerns. Thanks to aggressive fundraising, we’re able to make it happen, but we still need help ensuring our students stay fueled and hydrated during the journey.

Providing snacks and water for the bus ride will keep them energized, focused, and ready to fully engage in this educational and entertaining experience.

Your support will not only nourish their bodies but also their excitement and curiosity as they explore new learning opportunities outside the classroom!
