Pond Brook Jr. High School is planning an adventure of epic proportions! Please support our young, engaged and curious learners with their field trip to Washington D.C.

Your donation will provide round trip train tickets from Burlington to D.C. for 15 students, as well as for members of our teaching team and will also provide lodging and meals. Without your support, this trip will not be possible, therefore, we are tenderly, boldly and above all, gratefully, asking for help.

Pond Brook School is a Jr. High, run through the non-profit, The Willowell Foundation. Pond Brook is rooted in public access and makes every effort to open doors for all learners to participate in meaningful, emergent education, set outside or in community spaces throughout Vermont.

The field trip to Washington D.C. will give our thoughtful students a context through which to place our history as a nation; and in these tumultuous times, the trip will have powerful significance. Students will visit the National Mall, the Smithsonian National Museum of African American History and Culture, the Smithsonian National Museum of Natural History and other arts and culture spaces and events.

This trip will truly be an opportunity for pivotal memory-making and discovery. Please consider supporting this traveling school as its sphere widens. Any contribution will be monumental!
