My students need donations so that we can see in person the effects of Ponce de Leon and to better understand the evolvement of Florida.

We are a Title 1 School, called Lawnwood Elementary School. Our students are very diverse and include a mixture of ESOL, ESE, Gifted and mixed ability grouping of students.

The NGSS social studies standard (SS.4.A.3.3) states that students will be able to identify the significance of St.

Augustine as the oldest permanent European settlement in the United States through a toured field trip that gives the students an opportunity to personally experience the most important historical sites and museums in St. Augustine. The students will be able to challenge themselves to think beyond the text book to discover the very significance of St. Augustine to Florida's history while they record important places and important facts they learn along the way.

We believe students should also celebrate hard work and success from 4th grade, their FSA efforts, and from learning about St. Augustine in ELA and Social Studies!
