Our 8th-grade students (Golden Stars) are planning an exciting and educational trip to Pohnpei from March 8-17, 2024.
These students are not just ordinary 8th graders; they are the first cohort of students who will be transitioning to our re-opened High School next year. As such, this trip holds immense significance as it will shape their future academic journey and provide them with invaluable experiences.
The purpose of this trip is to expose our students to a wide range of future career options and scholarship opportunities. By visiting Pohnpei, they will have the chance to explore different industries, interact with professionals, and gain insights into potential career paths. Additionally, this trip will also provide them with much-needed relaxation and a chance to bond with their classmates and peers from Pohnpei SDA School before embarking on their high school journey.
To make this trip a reality, we are seeking financial support from businesses, former school staff, alumni, kind-hearted individuals, and generous community members. The total cost of the trip is approximately US$ 10,000, which includes transportation, accommodation, meals, educational activities, and other related expenses. The Golden Stars have been doing fundraising through Bake Sales and have so far raised a little over $1,000. Any contribution, no matter how big or small, would make a significant impact on our students' educational journey.
As an esteemed member of our school's alumni, former school staff, a respected local business, kind-hearted individuals, or our generous community, your support would not only contribute to the success of this trip but also demonstrate your commitment to the educational development of our community's youth. We believe that investing in their education today will shape the leaders and professionals of tomorrow.
If you are interested in supporting our cause, please let us know how you would like to contribute. Donations can be deposited to our school account or dropped at school with the 8th Grade Homeroom Adviser/Business Office, or can be collected by us from your premises. Kindly let us know how you send your donations. Your generosity will be acknowledged and appreciated through various means, including recognition on our school's website, social media platforms, and during our post-trip presentations.
Thank you for considering our request. Together, we can empower these students to achieve their full potential and inspire future generations. If you have any questions or would like to discuss this further, please feel free to reach out to us on the contact information of the undersigned or through the school email on our letterhead in the letter below.
