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 student participates in a
couple of fundraisers each year, they will not have to fund raise all
of the money during 8th
grade. I cannot stress enough the importance of fundraising early
so that your family is not stuck with a $325 bill at the end of 8th
grade. Also, this account can be used for other field trips in the
middle school.
I
will be getting out a list of fundraisers that we will be doing
shortly. I just wanted to alert you to this excellent opportunity to
earn money that does not involve selling something.
Christine
Vaughn has given us a fun opprotunity for parents to earn money for
their students fundraising account. If you help out for the 6.5
hours you will get $65 for you students account. Here is the
information:
For
groups of 10-20 adult volunteers before or on event day, we will
donate $10 per volunteer hour back to the field trip fund. Our
day begins at 6:30, and lasts about 6.5 hours. The work is
easy, either monitoring the course for fair play, working merchandise
tables, or registration. We also have some opportunities for
set up and tear down.
Possible
donations:
10
volunteers X 6.5 hours X $10 = $650 total donation
20
volunteers X 6.5 hours X $10 = $1300 total donation
If
you are interested in running in the Zombie Run, you can get $10 off
