Proud National Sponsor Target Offers Field Trip Grant Program to Schools

Target understands that funds for school field trips are limited, so this year they've doubled the size of their one-of-a-kind, innovative Target Field Trip Grants program. 1,600 schools will win educators' grants of up to $1,000 this spring. See dolphins at the zoo; go behind the scenes at a local theatre, watch kids' eyes get huge at a science museum and more. It's all a part of Target's commitment to education. Apply online by November 1, 2007. Apply Online (www/target.com/teachers)
