Do you remember safety patrol when you were in fifth grade? Across the country, being a "safety" in fifth grade is a huge honor. The most exciting thing is the trip to Washington D.C. at the end of the school year. About six years ago, I got the opportunity to chaperone the annual trip, and it was so much fun. The kids got to see a lot of our nation's capital and they learned so much. It was the opportunity of a lifetime for students at my school, who due to finances might not have gotten the opportunity.
This year, the trip costs $399. This is a lot of money for any family, and especially a lot to students in my low-income school. They have had many fundraisers, but unfortunately this will not be much help to some of them. If you would be willing to donate money to this trip to help all of these students who have worked so hard this year, please e-mail me at adkinsj3@k12tn.net and I will get you the information you need to make a donation. Any amount will help, whether it be five dollars or even more! These students are considered the best of the best in our school and they deserve this opportunity, despite their economic disadvantage!
