Kohl’s (NYSE: KSS) today announced more than 480 schools in the metro-Milwaukee area will take more than 1,300 field trips this school year courtesy of the Kohl’s Cares Field Trip Grant Program. The program will provide more than $1 million for field trips for schools in Dodge, Jefferson, Kenosha, Milwaukee, Ozaukee, Racine, Sheboygan, Walworth, Washington and Waukesha counties during the 2017-2018 school year.

“With the start of the new school year here in southeastern Wisconsin, Kohl’s is excited to provide teachers in our hometown the opportunity to take their students outside of the classroom,” said Jen Johnson, Kohl’s vice president of communications. “We know that students will benefit from the fun and engaging experiences they will have at some of Milwaukee’s best-in-class educational destinations.”

Now in its fifth year, the Kohl’s Cares Field Trip Grant Program allows school groups to visit Kohl’s partner organizations including, Betty Brinn Children’s Museum, Discovery World, Hunger Task Force, Junior Achievement of Wisconsin, the Milwaukee Art Museum, the Milwaukee Public Museum and the Milwaukee County Zoo. The Kohl’s grants cover field trip expenses such as admission fees, transportation, substitute teacher fees and materials required for the experience.
