URGENT UPDATE: The Discovery Shoppe League has just donated $15,000 to Shasta Elementary School to support their 5th grade students’ trip to Shady Creek environmental camp. Volunteer Shelley Tedford presented the check on October 29, 2023, marking a significant contribution to local education.
This generous funding will help cover costs for a four-day, three-night adventure at Shady Creek, allowing students like Emma Barnum and Nick Bonacich to experience enriching outdoor activities. The donation underscores the Discovery Shoppe League’s commitment to enhancing educational opportunities in the Chico community.
The Discovery Shoppe, located at 315 Flume Street, Chico, operates entirely through volunteers, with all proceeds directed back into community initiatives. This year, the organization is set to award over $165,381 to a total of sixteen local charities, making a substantial impact on various community projects.
Why This Matters NOW: With educational funding becoming increasingly critical, this donation not only supports the students’ learning experiences but also exemplifies community solidarity and engagement. As schools face budget constraints, contributions like these help bridge the gap, ensuring that children have opportunities to learn and grow outside the classroom.
What’s Next: The funds from this donation will directly contribute to the students’ travel and activities at the environmental camp, scheduled for later this school year. Parents and community members are encouraged to engage with the Discovery Shoppe and support future initiatives that benefit local schools.
For those looking to get involved, the Discovery Shoppe welcomes donations and volunteers to continue their important work within the community. This is a prime example of how local organizations can come together to create lasting impacts on the lives of young students.
