GRADE 8 NYC TRIP – May 19, 2023
On Friday, May 19, Grade 8 students will attend a field trip to New York City. Students attended an assembly on Wednesday, January 11, to discuss the itinerary, costs, and expectations. At that time, this trip notification letter was distributed.
All parents & guardians are asked to sign and date this trip notification slip. Students should return this signed slip to their Morning Meeting teachers by Friday, January 20. Please note that money is not being collected at this time. We simply wanted to communicate to families the dates and key aspects of the trip.
Thank you in advance for supporting this amazing learning experience.
