The Faribault School Supplies for All program’s purpose is to ensure our students are equipped and ready to learn. In Faribault Public Schools, 68% of students come from low-income households, making the purchase of back-to-school supplies a significant financial burden. While the district asks families for a $35 contribution per student to help cover costs, this fee is waived for families experiencing financial hardship. Your tax-deductible donation directly bridges this gap, ensuring our Pre-K through 8th-grade students start Day One with the exact same tools. We believe every child should have the opportunity to thrive, grow, and feel confident in the classroom. Your generous support strengthens our caring community, lifts the supply-gathering burden from our dedicated teachers, and helps us create a successful, fully prepared school year for every student. Every dollar donated goes directly toward individual student school supplies.

Support Kids World Field Trip Adventures! At Kids World School Age Child Care, we believe some of the best learning happens beyond our program walls. Field trips give children the opportunity to explore, discover new interests, build friendships, and create lasting memories. Whether we're visiting local parks & pools, museums, fairs or other entertainment avenues, each experience provides hands-on learning in a fun and meaningful way.Unlike many programs, the cost of our field trips is built into our daily and weekly program rates. We believe every child should have the opportunity to participate without families having to pay separately for each trip. Our goal is to continue offering these enriching experiences while keeping our program affordable for everyone.Unfortunately, the cost of transportation, admissions, and activities continues to rise. This summer alone, we've encountered unexpected last-minute increases in field trip expenses, making it more challenging to stay within our budget without passing those costs on to families.We are asking for your support to help grow our Kids World Field Trip Fund. Every donation goes directly toward our field trip budget and will help us:          - Offset unexpected increases in transportation, admission, and activity costs.          - Expand and enhance the field trip experiences we provide, including the possibility of adding larger, more memorable trips later in the summer or adding field trips during the school year when we have longer breaks. Thank you for supporting Kids World and investing in the children of our community. Your generosity helps ensure that every child has the opportunity to explore, learn, and create lasting memories through unforgettable field trip experiences.
