Wonder Works: Power of Imagination

My students need a unforgettable trip to Wonder Works to unleash the power of their imagination.

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Warner's classroom raised $418

This project is fully funded

My Students

Studies show that two-thirds of children who cannot read by fourth grade will end up in jail or on welfare. Many of our students, over 85% in fact, are already low-income. We service a population of students who are at-risk and unable to secure their own school supplies.

Our students are eager to learn and many depend on the school to assist in providing food, clothing, and supplies.

Our goal is to educate and care for our students academically and socially-emotionally. We need clean, healthy environments in order to educate our students to the best of our ability.

My Project

Our Head Start students need an unforgettable trip to Wonder Works where they can use their imagination through art, performance, design, building, and more. During this trip, students will be able to explore a variety of experience zones to open up their imagination in ways that may otherwise be impossible. The students at our school are growing up in increasingly stressful environments.

At Wonder Works, children have the rare opportunity to be in a supportive, fun environment where they are free to be kids.

Creative and imaginative play are vital to learning as well as a educating the whole child.
