"This program makes it easy by feeding the kids and entertaining them with educational content during the bus ride. I enjoyed that kids got to see where our government officials work."

"Great way to expose students to excellent experiences that they wouldn't have received with a traditional field trip."
-Administrator, Irving ISD
