Lunchables Field Trips for All! Nominate a classroom today!

This is a Sponsored Post written by me on behalf of Lunchables. All opinions are 100% mine.

Hands-on experiences like field trips can help engage children in learning that can open their eyes to the world beyond the classroom. That’s why Lunchables Lunch Combinations wants to help deserving kids across the country go on an inspiring, educational experience with the launch of the program, “Field Trips For All.”

“Field Trips For All” is the first effort from the Lunchables Team’s new initiative called Project Potential. Aimed at empowering kids with opportunities to help them reach their full potential, Project Potential will provide enriching experiences kids might otherwise not have. With tight state budgets, the housing market crash which causes housing tax revenues to decrease impacting schools, there is a direct impact to school budgets, especially extracurricular activities like field trips! According to a 2009 report from The American Association of School Administrators, it’s estimated that over the course of the current school year, the number of school districts eliminating field trips will increase by 56 percent. That’s more than 30,000 schools this year alone.

I'm sure you remember some of the great field trips from your childhood! I remember visiting the NASA Space Center in Houston and going to Astroworld during high school, and as a young kid going to petting zoos, museums, and even a ballet once! I hope my kids can experience the same things growing up, but unfortunately, so many kids will only have those experiences through their own families and many can't afford it! Lunchables Field Trips For All is a great opportunity to provide those activities to kids in our communities this year!  I'm sure you know a deserving classroom!

Check out the "Alien Field Trip," that was taken by fifth graders from Los Angeles!
