My wonderful class of seventh graders on the South Side of Chicago has been hard at work all year learning about American government and politics. They followed Election 2004 closely, designed their own political campaign, and studied for and passed the U.S. and Illinois Constitution tests. As an end-of-year trip, my students want to go to Springfield, Illinois to visit the state capital and other historic sites that we have been studying. We are planning our trip for the end of May to coincide with a state-wide service-learning competition that we are participating in. Currently, my students are researching and trying to solve the problem of unhealthy food in our community. In May, their project portfolio will be sent to Springfield to be judged by lawyers and legislators. It would be really exciting for my students to see their hard work on display in the state capital! Unfortunately, my school's budget is very tight, and my students' families can not afford to pay for the cost of the trip themselves. I need your help to pay the cost of the school bus. Please help my students participate in the trip of a lifetime; it will be the perfect end to a productive learning year!
