Hello 4th Grade!

We are excited to go Coloma for the fourth grade overnight trip in March 2027! This Crocker tradition is an annual core memory for the kids that they look forward to all year. Our goal is for every student to participate in this wonderful Gold Rush immersion learning and class bonding in an outdoor education setting.

To make this trip a reality, we will need to raise $30k. This breaks down to approximately $400 per student (63 fourth graders) and also covers the costs for the 20ish chaperones needed. We will fundraise through donations, corporate matching, sponsorship(s), and other events. As this is a school-based field trip, nobody is required to pay, but the field trip cannot happen if the money is not raised.

You can:

Give whatever amount you are comfortable with directly. We are asking $400 per family that helps cover the chaperones and teachers.
Host a fundraiser: bake sale, popsicles, movie night, happy hour, golf night, whiskey tasting, pumping carving, book sales, you name it
Find a community sponsor to donate
Ask extended family to support as a tax-deductible donation

Donations to this account go to the PTA and as a non-profit, are tax-deductible. Please get your donations in soon and take advantage of the tax-deductibility for calendar year 2026!

All donations of any amount are welcome and will help us meet our goal! We understand that not all families can make a financial contribution. Our goal is to collectively raise funds for all 4th graders to be able to attend. We are hoping to wrap up the donation process by the end of the year. Any extra funds will be saved for the fifth grade overnight and graduation, which the students will go on during the fall next year.

**Givebutter will ask for an option donor tip. You can change it to $0 by selecting 'other' and typing in $0. You can also change the processing fee by unchecking the "I want to cover fees" box.

Email Mandy Bible (amandaemikobible@gmail.com), Komal Kamath (Kkirtikar81@gmail.com), or Vaman Kamath (vkamath@gmail.com) with questions and to help fundraise.
