Celebrating Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

Celebrate 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

If we could sell our experiences for what they cost us, we'd all be millionaires. Help our children have a priceless experience of a lifetime and donate now. As Winston Churchill once said, "We make a living by what we get, but we make a life by what we give."

Our classroom includes 28 inspiring third graders with wild imaginations.

Every day they come to school with smiles on their faces despite their hardships. They deserve the opportunity to experience a class trip like this one! They will be working hard all year long to prepare for their standardized test. My students need funding to go on an overnight trip to the museum. We hope that with the efforts of our families and friends, we can reward our children with an experience they will remember for the rest of their lives. Help us treat them to something they deserve and will remember always. If you think your contribution is too small to make an impact, think about the mosquito in the room.

My Project

Students will meet their relatives in the Anne and Bernard Spitzer Hall of Human Origins and climb the stairs to enter the Age of Dinosaurs, standing beneath a fearsome T. Rex. They will explore the live animal exhibitions with knowledgeable museum staff and encounter live animals---bats, wolves, birds of prey---and learn all about their habitats. Then they will discover the Secret Ocean now showing in 3-D the LeFrak Theater before the night comes to a magical close. The students will settle down beneath the 94-foot-long blue whale, next to African elephants (my favorite), or at the base of a striking volcanic formation and fall asleep in the darkened halls of one of the world’s most beloved museums.

"No act of kindness, no matter how small is ever wasted." -Aesop Your contributions will make possible a trip that will forever be embedded into the memories of our children.

Thank you in advance.
