We have a trip itinerary!

Trip News:

Dear Parents,

We have an itinerary. The cost of the trip is $766.12, based on 16 students and 17 adults. If anyone would like to add an additional family member, that would be fine. The more who go, the cheaper the trip for everyone.

I changed a couple of things to get the price of the trip down. They are less expensive tickets to Wicked (Can you say opera glasses?), and we dropped the cruise because we will have a ride on a ferry when we go to Ellis Island and the Statue of Liberty. We will be leaving Monday morning rather than riding overnight on the bus. We will return overnight, however, on Wednesday/Thursday. Students will not attend school on Thursday. Again, we will leave Monday, May 2 and return early Thursday morning, May 5. The travel agent is continuing to look into the Hilton point angle, and I will be in touch if that reduces the trip further. Finally, great news! Terrie Fiehn has agreed to head-up pizza sales. You will be hearing from her soon.

Thank you for your patience during the selection process. If you have any hot ideas for raising money, bring them on! Again, many thanks.

Good news! We were able to get tickets to the Diary of Anne Frank on Monday, October 18 at 10 A.M., Romeo and Juliet on Monday, February 14, 2011 at 10:00 A.M., and The Secret Life of Bees, on Tuesday, March 22 at 1:00 P.M. I will be sending home a permission slip for all three and a request for $15 to cover the cost of all three. I also ordered four adult tickets, in addition to mine, at $10 a piece, for each play. I think we can get them there in five cars. If you would like to chaperone any of these trips, and know now, let me know on the permission slip. Otherwise, we will figure out drivers closer to each event. Thank you.
