FREE Grant Information for School Field Trips

by Adrienne Smith

Oct 8, 2008

I have spent significant time researching and gathering information about grants that provide financing for various educational and culturally enriching activities such as field trips, class projects, and assemblies. If you want a copy of the list, email me, and I will send it to you.

Karen This is exactly what is happening to me right now. Paid for trip in full, they changed the dates. They are saying our teacher requested dates to be changed which is a lie. $4000 paid and they are saying my refund will be $700!!! They changed the terms of the trip identical to your description last week and enrolled me in the new trip...that I didn'...See MoreThis is exactly what is happening to me right now.

They changed the terms of the trip identical to your description last week and enrolled me in the new trip...that I didn't agree to and I called to cancel and have gotten the complete run around. This is absurd!

Did you ever get your full refund?

Spanish class field trips

by Srta. Cooper

Aug 6, 2014

I teach in the DMV metropolitan area and I need help with finding trips for my high school students in my Spanish class to go to. I am looking for something engaging. It is rather difficult to get older kids excited about Spanish.

in-school field trips

by PattiV

Aug 15, 2009

does anyone have any ideas for in-school field trips? I have "admissions" money from my budget but my Head Start kids are not allowed on buses anymore.

In the past we have used Mother Goose and Nelson Gill (carribean pre-school musician)
