2007-2008 8th Grade Trip to New York City!

And More!

Dear Students, Parents, and Guardians of 8th Grade Students, We finally have all the information we need to proceed with our plans for this year's 8th grade trip. You will get an official itinerary when we have our general meeting right before the trip but in the meantime here are a few highlights: Bronx Zoo, Madame Tussaud's Wax Museum, the Sony Wonder Technology Laboratory, a New York Harbor Cruise, Ground Zero, a Broadway show and a Medieval Times dinner theatre. The trip will take place June 5-6, 2008 and will cost $350 per person. Your payment will cover the cost of the busses, one night at the Holiday Inn Hasbruck Heights in New Jersey with security, three meals, all guides, admissions, taxes and tips. The number of adults going on the trip is a crucial element for the supervision of our students and we would like to thank all of you that volunteered to chaperone. We are still in the process of contacting interested chaperones. The cost for chaperones is also $350 and needs to be paid in full by the chaperone meeting we will have in May, 2008. Chaperones will receive a packet that contains a volunteer sheet and a CORI form to fill out and return to school. Students will also be given a packet of forms in early February to fill out and return to school as quickly as possible. This packet contains a suggested packing list, medical forms and permission slips. Early in the spring we will hold a required meeting for chaperones and a required meeting for all parents of students going on the trip. This meeting will finalize information for everyone and we will be able to answer any questions you might have at that time. The payment schedule for students is as follows: First Payment $100 Already paid Second Payment $75 Due on Nov. 30, 2007 Third Payment $75 Due on January 30, 2008 Final Payment $100 Due on March 30, 2008 We accept cash and checks/money orders made out to White Brook Middle School.
