Send me on a trip of a lifetime!
Every year, KIPP goes on a once in a lifetime Civil Rights Tour through the South. We visit the heart of the Civil Rights Movement and go to places such as Birmingham, Montgomery, Selma, and Atlanta. We see such things as Martin Luther King Jr's childhood home and grave, the 16th Street Baptist Church, the Southern Poverty Law Center, Stone Mountain and many more. We even several HBCUs including Morehouse and Spelman. The highlight is when we cross the Edmund Pettus Bridge while singing Civil Rights Hymns. It is simply a once in a lifetime trip but the cost to students has been going up each year due to budget cuts. This trip is something I will remember forever and any help is greatly appreciated.

My Teacher Recommendation
Mr Francaviglia (Grade 8)
Le'Trey is a great person who brings a lot of life to the classroom. He is always ready to support his teammates at KIPP and has a positive attitude about everything. In class, he is fun to teach and willing to take risks, plus he is quick with a joke. Le'Trey is a great candidate for support as he will engage fully with this experience and remember it for the rest of his life.
