Target helps elementary school go on science field trip

Because of the Target Corporate, 250 students from Sunset Palms Elementary School in  Boynton Beach are going on a field trip to the South Florida Science  Museum.
The Target Field Trip Grants Program awarded $800 to Sunset  Palms Elementary for the field trip set for 9:30 a.m. Feb. 27.
Part of Target’s commitment to education is the creation of the grant program.
So far, Target has awarded 7,400 Target Field Trip Grants-totaling more than $2 million-to educators in all 50 states, helping more than 300,000 students see the world outside the classroom.
Sunset Palms Elementary was selected from more than 25,000 applicants from across the country to receive the grant. 
“Target has been doing work in the community and with schools for quite some time. They do great things,” said Sunset Palms Elementary Assistant Principal Cory Zigler.
Zigler said the trip to the museum would be good because it is hard to strictly learn science out of textbooks.
“This way they can see science up close,” he said.
For information, call Sunset Palms Elementary Assistant Principal Cory Zigler at 561-752-1100.
