At Elm, we believe every child deserves inspiring, hands-on experiences that ignite curiosity and bring learning to life. That’s why we’re committed to providing enriching field studies for our nearly 500 students in Kindergarten through 5th grade.

These trips give students real-world connections that strengthen critical thinking, deepen understanding, and spark a lifelong love of learning beyond the classroom.

Help us reach our goals! If we reach...

10k - We send all grades (K-5) on ONE significant field studies experience this year!
20k - We send all grades (K-5) on TWO significant field studies experiences this year!
30k - We send all grades (K-5) on TWO trips and our Seniors on an End of Year trip!

We need your help to make these experiences possible for every child.

No amount is too small—every gift directly enriches our students’ education.

Thank you for helping our young explorers discover the world beyond the classroom!
