Appeal for Assistance with Fieldtrip Subs

This is a serious appeal to our Shabazz Family Community:

A foundational piece of the Shabazz Way is the opportunity for experiential (out of the classroom) learning; i.e., fieldtrips. These fieldtrips (FTs) may look like the extended trip classes that take students and staff out of the building for a week at a time. Or, the FTs may look like a 1/2 day or full day visit to sites like Cherokee Marsh, Aldo Leopold Center, American Players Theatre, or the Wisconsin Historical Society Archives. Funds have become very limited for classroom coverage (substitute teachers) while instructors are off-site with a smaller group of students. Substitute teachers cost us $150/day. And, that doesn't even begin to address the issue of transportation costs to FT sites or any equipment rentals/site fees.

In order to continue with this foundational piece of our curriculum and approach to education, we need your financial support. Any assistance you can give to our substitute teacher fund will significantly help our program, our students, and ultimately your community. A large number of our students cannot afford to pay a fee for a FT.

If you can help, tax deductible donations may be made out to Shabazz City High School (with Fieldtrip Subs written in the memo line of your check).

Thank you for your ongoing support !!!!
