Field Trip to the USS Hornet
Emily Parbarcus is a teacher at Encinal High School. Here is her original Mini Grant request:
“I would like to take my students on a walking field trip this year to see the USS Hornet. I have, in conjunction with Hornet staff, developed an educational program for U.S. History students. They visit different stations throughout the day to learn about Japanese Internment, the Battle of Midway, the Moon Landing, and many other events the Hornet has been involved in.

“It has been so wonderful to let students know that I can purchase the books that they are requesting immediately! Attached is a picture of some of the books I have been able to purchase this past week & am rushing to get processed for students to borrow over our week break. Thanks for helping me support their joy of reading!”
“Here’s a photo of a student for whom I was able to purchase books with my money from AEF! When a student requests a book, I always want to be able to deliver!”
