“Abbott Elementary” creator and star Quinta Brunson is teaming up with the School District of Philadelphia to create a fund to provide free school trips to students.

The Quinta Brunson Field Trip Fund launched on Giving Tuesday and will raise money to provide free field trips for schools, giving students from underserved communities greater access to out-of-classroom experiences, according to a release.

In a statement, Brunson, a Philadelphia native, said field trips were some of the most memorable parts of her education growing up.

“They opened my world, sparked my creativity, and helped me imagine a future beyond what I saw every day,” Brunson said.

The fund aims to eliminate the costs associated with field trips for more than 117,000 students in Philadelphia’s public schools and will focus on the city’s vast network of museums and landmarks.

“I’m proud to support Philadelphia students with experiences that remind them their dreams are valid and their futures are bright,” Brunson said in a statement. »
