For the second year in a row, The Wisconsin Energy Foundation has donated $25,000 to the Milwaukee Art Museum (MAM) provide complimentary field trips, including transportation expenses, for Milwaukee students.
These field trips will be offered to select schools that have completed a rigorous assessment process with Partners Advancing Values in Education (PAVE) for the 2012-2013 school year.
“Our organization and our participating schools have high expectations for their students, teachers and parents,” said Dan McKinley, PAVE’s president and chief executive officer. “The experience offered by the Milwaukee Art Museum through their field trips complements the schools’ missions of creating a culture of achievement and enriches the education received in the classroom.”
Last year, nearly 950 students from five of PAVE’s schools visited the Milwaukee Art Museum.
