Pack Your Bags! Camp Thunderbird Here We Come!

Celebrating Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

Celebrate 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

I teach at a low income school where 100% of the students receive free breakfast and lunch. Many of my students face difficulties and struggles in their life, and truly deserve an amazing education. These children deserve nothing but the best life can offer them.

Every student deserves educational equity and this starts with fairness; this means someone's personal conditions shouldn't interfere with their education or academic successes.

My students are hardworking and lovable, and they deserve a chance to reach their potential. This can be done through time, love, and the right resources to fit their needs.

My Project

The project funds will go to YMCA Camp Thunderbird and CMS transportation to pay for our students to go to this day camp experience. The funds will pay for the transportation to and from the camp and outdoor activities which include exploring the forest and river, aquatic ecology, wildlife exploration, along with team building games and a campfire. The cost also covers all meals while our students are at camp. Students have spent the past few months studying a variety of science concepts such as ecosystems and weather. This trip will allow them to make real-life connections to some of these concepts.

The students will have the opportunity to learn science, life, and social skills while experiencing a valuable camp experience that they might not otherwise be able to have!

Camp Thunderbird is an amazing experience that we want all of our students to be able to experience regardless of their financial situation. We cannot wait to be outside the walls of the classroom applying what we have learned this year in science and ending fifth grade with a trip they will not forget!
