In 2025, we were thrilled to continue our partnership with Garfield Elementary by raising funds for a long-awaited school-wide zoo field trip and hosting a free week-long STEAM summer camp from for over 15 third and fourth graders. We made amazing new friends and had a blast with experiments like Coke and Mentos, elephant toothpaste, and ice cream in a bag, plus creative activities like tie-dye and poster-making for the principal’s birthday. We’re so grateful for the chance to keep learning, creating, and growing with Garfield!

Below is a letter from Mrs. Dougherty, a school counselor at Garfield Elementary who we had the pleasure of working closely with over the past few months:

Hello Awesome Ones!!

I hope you are enjoying the last days of summer break! I wanted to reach out to thank you all again for providing an incredible opportunity to our students that they might not otherwise have had. The feedback from parents and students has been incredibly positive. We are so grateful to each of you for your hard work and continued support. Please keep in touch and enjoy your SENIOR year!!!!

Best,

Mrs. Dougherty
