My students need a field trip to explore the great outdoors! They need a trip to Hidden Valley Nature Center.
FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. Ahrens's classroom raised $633
This project is fully funded
Celebrating Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month
This project is a part of the Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month celebration because
it supports a Latino teacher or a school where the majority of students are Latino.
My Students
Our 2nd graders are full of energy and excitement for everything! They are discovering the world and are eager to learn more about animals and nature. We need to put down the electronics, get out, and experience real outdoor life!
Our students come from low-income, hard-working families who value education.
They seldom have the time or extra money to enrich their child's development with extra activities like nature centers or museums, or even the beach. Further, our school is located in an area with very few trees and parks.
My Project
Visiting the Nature Center will increase their interest to learn more about the natural world around us. The Nature Center leaders will share fascinating facts about an array of subjects, which can include nocturnal critters, reptiles and amphibians, and spiders and insects.
After visiting the Nature Center, our 2nd graders will never forget their fantastic field trip.
They will never forget the experiences with the live animal presentation, nature hike, exploration of the pond, and the craft they will make. They will never forget identifying animal footprints, riding in a bus, and collecting live animals from the pond. This is only possible with donations from you!
More than three‑quarters of students from low‑income households
Data about students' economic need comes from the National Center for Education Statistics, via our partners at MDR Education. Learn more
