Because of the success of the 2025-2026 school year author visit funds for East we would like to continue this work for the 2026-2027 school year.
These funds are able to offer a stipend for the authors as well as purchase books published by the author for students and staff in attendance.
Last year we were able to host four fantastic authors with roughly 60 students in attendance at each visit.
Students and staff alike enjoyed the opportunity to talk to those in the field and ask meaningful questions. We are requesting $1,500 plus cost reimbursement. Thank you for considering this event! 

This May, Huntington’s 5th-grade class is trading the classroom for the diamond! We’re heading to a Lincoln Salt Dogs game to celebrate the end of an era and the start of a new chapter. To make this "final swing" through elementary school unforgettable, we want every student to show up in style. We are raising $1,300 to outfit every 5th grader with:
A custom Huntington T-shirt to show our school spirit in the stands.
A durable string backpack for all their game-day essentials.
Your support ensures that every child feels like part of the team as they cheer on the Salt Dogs and create memories that will last a lifetime.

Humann elementary 5th graders have an amazing opportunity to visit the Omaha Zoo, and we plan to make it a fun adventure! This annual tradition serves as a memorable celebration for our students as they prepare to graduate from elementary school and transition to middle school.

This trip not only enriches the students’ understanding of wildlife and conservation but also fosters community and school spirit.

We greatly appreciate your consideration of this request and look forward to the possibility of making this field trip a reality for our 5th graders. Requesting $2,800 plus cost reimbursement.
