Sleeping under the Sharks

"Hi. I am a schoolteacher in a small community and have always wanted to orchestrate the perfect learning field trip for my students. After ten years of teaching, I have finally found the perfect group of kids! Our hope is to take the ferry into San Francisco and visit the exploratorium (which will be full of awesome hands-on learning). Then, we hope to enter the aquarium after it closes for a private tour and the chance to sleep overnight under the sharks! I know it will be an experience they will never forget. Lake County International Charter School (where I teach) qualifies for 80% "free-or-reduced" lunch services from the state because most of our families are just barely getting by. The cost for each student will be about 80 dollars. Sixteen students and four adults means we are trying to raise 1,600 dollars. At our current rate, bake sales would take two years! We really need your help if we are to make this dream come true! Thank you so much for your generous contribution."
