My students need the funding to purchase buses for transportation to and from the zoo.
FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. Rick's classroom raised $466
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
What?! NO FIELD TRIPS??? For the last few years our shrinking district budget has prevented us from going on ANY field trips unless they are completely free. We live in beautiful San Diego and have one of the best zoos in the country, yet many of our students have NEVER been to it!
Our school is in a poverty-stricken neighborhood.
100% of our students recieve free breakfast and lunch. The majority of our families are refugees from war-torn countries such as Myanmar and Somalia. They have little to nothing when they arrive here but what they lack in material things they make up for with motivation and heart. Whenever these children do get to see part of city they are beyond excited and it seems to spark their language and learning!
My Project
Our students are so excited to be in a country where they can attend school and have freedoms they've never known. What makes it so difficult is that many of these students have never seen past their small community. Taking a field trip to the San Diego Zoo in beautiful Balboa Park would make a lasting impression on every student. Our students would participate in the 2nd grade life-cycle program and have the opportunity to see many of the animals on exhibit at the zoo. The bus ride to the zoo will also provide students with views of Balboa park.
You can help to make a difference in our children's education.
Help us take learning OUTSIDE of the classroom! These students are ready and willing to learn...it's our turn to help them succeed!
Nearly all students from low‑income households
