As schools across the country throw open their doors to millions of smiling and anxious faces this fall, Target is helping to ensure that these smiles are not dampened by our challenging economic climate.
Since 2006, Target’s Field Trip Grants program has promoted the importance of enhancing students’ studies outside the classroom by providing more than 729,000 students with the opportunity to go on a field trip. With 5,000 grants of up to $800 now available, Target is seeking to “Take Education on the Road” by covering the cost of transportation, entry fees, supplies and resource materials for classroom field trips. Educators are encouraged to apply online at Target.com/fieldtrips through November 3, 2009 for the opportunity to receive funding.
This effort continues Target’s ongoing commitment to supporting education and bolstering communities. Be sure to check back in the coming weeks to hear about First Book’s exciting work with Target this fall in Title I schools across the country!
