Fund-A-Need

Would you like to help inspire dreams for children and youth at Pershing and other schools?

Our 2nd graders are trying to fund a field trip to Vala's Pumpkin Patch in October. This trip will entice Pershing second graders to become interested in science and exploration.

At Vala’s students will study the lifecycle of pumpkins, apples, and bees!

These hands on experiences will allow students to manipulate objects and learn firsthand how they grow and develop. They will have the opportunity to explore and develop an understanding of lifecycles that cannot be done in the classroom alone. Each student will leave Vala’s with a pumpkin and a bag of apples.
