AchieveMpls’ Community Learning Fund makes field trips possible for hundreds of MPS students every year. Through mini-grants to pay for transportation, we allow classes of all ages and subject matter to
pursue enrichment opportunities outside of school walls. For the past three years, Nancy Paxson of Marcy Open School has received Community Learning Fund dollars to bring her “Peace Choir” to perform at the annual Nobel Peace Prize Festival. Along with other “Peace Site” schools around the Twin Cities, Marcy works to integrate peace studies into core curriculum. “Marcy students are excited to participate in the
festival each year and really identify themselves as Peacemakers,” Nancy says. “They believe what some of our songs say: ‘We each make a difference! We can change the world! We are the future!
Peace is up to you and me!’”
