Dear
Families,
At
the end of your student’s middle school experience, he or she will
have the opportunity to participate in the 8th
grade field trip to Boston. This field trip is three days and two
nights and for many students it is the highlight of their middle
school years. During this trip, students get to witness the culture
of Boston, visit a few of Boston’s best museums, and they get to
stay at Emerson College. This is a unique opportunity that every
student should experience. In order to make this trip affordable for
all families, we offer numerous fundraisers throughout the school
year. Each student is given a field trip account. Students earn
money for this account by fundraising. This money will be put
towards the cost of the Boston trip and can also be used to fund
other school based field trips as well. I have created these
accounts so that students can earn their trip to Boston. This year
the cost of the trip is $325, if your students participates in a
couple of fundraisers each year, they will not have to fund raise all
of the money during 8th
grade.
For 8th and 7th Graders, your student will be getting a summary of their account on Monday.
