The Description

Did you know that the average 5th grader reads 400,000 words a year? At KIPP Academy of Innovation we want to change that. Our goal is for all of our students to read 1,000,000 words by the end of the year. One million! Even though we are only halfway through the  school year, we have a number of students who have already achieved this reading goal. While all students who read a million words a year will achieve an exceptional feat, we have a few students who who have already gone above and beyond. Our "Top Ten" readers have currently read over a combined 23 million words. These students are exceptional and we want to reward them for their hard work.

With your generous donation,we would be able to take our Top Ten readers to the "The Wizardly World of Harry Potter" in Universal Studios Hollywood. The Harry Potter series is a shared favorite among all of our "Top Ten" readers and taking them to Harry Potter land would be an amazing reward for their hard work at crushing their reading goal. Your money will support student and chaperone ticket costs. Each ticket costs $80.  

Thank you for your generosity and support! I really appreciate you helping our students.

Mr. Temblador and the KIPP Innovation Team

Back Up Plan

While Harry Potter Land is the optimal place to visit because of our Top Ten readers all loved the books. many read the entire series in less than two months! We could also explore another local California amusement park.

I just wanted to thank everyone for their generous donations! We've met our goal and now we are planning our trip to the Wizarding World of Harry Potter. I'll be sure to send pictures and videos from our trip to keep everyone updated. 

Thanks again everyone,
