Donate to Help a 5th Grade Class Canoe Trip

submitted by walterj@augsburg.edu

The fifth-grade students at Jefferson Community School are full of life, eager to learn, and curious to experience Minnesota outside of the classroom. Many of the students have experienced serious trauma, are learning English as their second or third language, and are living in neighborhoods that limit their chances to play outside and learn about the outdoors.

Because of this, one of their wonderful teachers is raising money to send the students on a field trip with Wilderness Inquiry. Students will spend a day canoeing on the Minneapolis Chain of Lakes to learn about the local environment and the water cycle. They will also learn how land forms and natural resources have effected Minnesota’s history.

If you are able and would like to contribute, please follow the provided link. Thank You!
