As a high school teacher, I've seen many students grow throughout the years. I've been at the same school for 8 years and as the art teacher, some students have been with me for every single one of those years. Sometimes I see a special student that captivate teachers with their wit, communication, hard work, friendliness, compassion and school spirit, and Patricia is one of those. Every year the school does an educational trip where students can have different experiences, learn in new places, travel, and bond.

Today, I am asking to make Patricia's dream come true. Help me raise funds to be able to help one of my most cherished students reach her goal to join the upcoming 2025 trip to Washington and New York. There they'll enjoy museum visits, historic sights, and broadway shows, among many other educational experiences. I cannot think of a student who will enjoy, learn, and appreciate this more. Every dollar counts, and for this student, it's a life changing experience.

Thank you everyone, from the bottom of my heart.
