Eighth graders at Gateway International School have an opportunity to go on a two-night, three-day field trip to Yosemite. This field trip will help students make academic connections before, during, and after the trip, as they will actively engage in the scientific process through collaboration, while addressing real-world issues concerning the environment and climate change. Students will also take part in a citizen science project. This learning adventure will offer limitless opportunities for students to explore the world around them in a special way. Students will spend their days hiking in Yosemite Valley while learning about the geological processes that formed the Sierra Nevada mountain range and Yosemite Valley. They will complete team-building challenges and explore lessons on leadership while hiking to the top of one of Yosemite Valley’s waterfalls. Students will also hike in a giant sequoia forest while learning about the unique ecological interconnections that support these ancient and rare trees. However, even with a generous scholarship from Nature Bridge, funds will still need to be produced to supplement costs and transportation. Our students are hoping that this will help to supplement their cost. With your donation in any amount, you can help send our students to Yosemite for the first time. This will help cover the cost of the experience in the park as well as transportation to the park. We are asking for any donation that would help us to provide this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for so many of our students at GIS. Many of our students have heard of Yosemite and learned about this place that Californians have a connection to, but have never had the opportunity to go. At the very least, if you could share this information, we would be grateful. Thank you for your consideration of donating to this worthy
