A new Field Trip FUND for South Lake Tahoe Schools

An El Dorado Community Foundation Fund

A volunteer board of 5 community members:

Kathy Haven, Kent Baer, Karen Goldberg, Mary Palin, & Sara Pierce.

Our Mission:

Provide funds for overnight, standards based field trips for Grades 6 and below to encourage all schools to provide at least one overnight field trip for their upper elementary grade students in the Lake Tahoe Unified School District.

Our Objectives:

Provide funds ($75) for children/families with financial need (families on free and reduced breakfast and lunch programs: #s as provided by LTUSD) to allow them the opportunities that come with an overnight, standards based field trip.
Help teachers with fundraising by providing funds…allow teachers to concentrate on teaching/educating, rather than fundraising.
Provide compensation for teachers ($100/night).

The Logistics:

Submit your request (find application on the "Receive" Page) via email (tahoefeetfund@gmail.com) between September 1- November 1.
Recipients announced on or before Dec.15; Funds for students mailed to LTUSD after contract signed.
Teacher stipends paid out in June after all field trips are complete and all paperwork submitted.
