East Coast Trip - Three weeks and a day away!

22 days from today, we leave on what could be the greatest adventure of your child’s junior high school career:  our East Coast Adventure!

 

We have two meetings this coming week.  The first is our student meeting on Monday, March 15.  Again, please make sure you pack your lunch that day so we can begin promptly, and again I will provide dessert.

 

Then, this coming Thursday, March 18, at 7:00 p.m. in the Rio Norte library, we will have our big gathering before the big trip:  the predeparture meeting.

 

Here’s what you need to bring:

- Your yellow Emergency Medical Release form, completely filled out and signed both front and back

- The child traveling on the trip along with at least ONE parent or guardian

- Your Rio Norte photo ID card (the airlines don’t always ask for ID since they’re minors, but it’s always better to be safe)
- $10 cash for gratuity/thank you for tour guide ($5) and coach driver ($5).  As I’ve mentioned before, I politely request this.

 

This meeting is exciting because it gives both students and parents the chance to meet the families of the other students going, to meet me (the man behind all the long e-mails), to see the final itinerary, and to get some important final tips and instructions.

 

As always, don’t hesitate to call, text, or e-mail me if you have any questions.  Or, save your questions, and you can ask me in person at the pre-departure meeting on Thursday.  Have a great weekend!
