  • Exploring the Tidepools

    Funded Oct 16, 2012

    Our trip was fabulous!

    We cannot thank you enough for making the dream of visiting The Cabrillo Marine Aquarium a reality. On a cool Southern California day the school bus drove us 30 minutes to San Pedro. With all of the recent cut backs, we had the facilities to ourselves. Our two classes were divided into 6 groups of 10 students each. This allowed each and every student the chance to view, touch and observe the sea life in the tanks and the tide pool.

    The classes also enjoyed eating on the picnic benches along the shore. Following lunch, we walked along the breakwater to look for dolphins. NO dolphins were spotted but we enjoyed seeing a flock of pelicans floating in the calm waters along the coast.”

    With gratitude,

    Mrs. Maier

  • Teaching Tools

    Funded Jan 25, 2012

    I am committed to be the best teacher that I can be for the students in my room. With the full power of literature behind me, I can open doors for these students that they might not have been able to access without their academic success.

    Your positive gesture will be a powerful force that cannot be stopped as the students move forward in their timeline of lifelong learning.

    I appreciate your generosity to the youth in my classroom and we look forward to the remainder of the year using our deluxe pencil sharpener and quality pencils!”

I have wonderful, bright hard-working students. They reside in South Los Angeles and come from economically disadvantaged families. Our school provides most of the opportunities beyond the city block they live in. My goal is to collect enough books to pack our school library with interesting and culturally relevant literature to stretch their world. My ultimate goal is to earn field trips for my students to give them real-life experiences that will continue to expand their horizons.
