My Project
This project launches students on a bold expedition through the wild and wondrous landscapes of America’s National Parks. Armed with dynamic reference books like National Geographic Kids National Parks Guide, National Parks A to Z, and Junior Ranger Activity Books, students will navigate a terrain of discovery filled with epic facts, colorful maps, and striking visuals. These tools will fuel meaningful research into the geography, wildlife, ecosystems, and conservation efforts that shape our most iconic natural spaces.
As student explorers embark on their national park research journey, they will chart migration paths, decode animal adaptations, and uncover the stories behind protected lands.
With every turn of the page, they will sharpen their research skills while awakening a sense of wonder for the natural world. This project transforms research into a trailblazing adventure, igniting curiosity, cultivating stewardship, and inspiring the next generation of environmental champions.
Nearly all students from low‑income households
