NYC/DC Trip
We need 15 more participants!!!
Fifth Grade Families:
Great News! At this time, we have sold out our first bus for our upcoming NYC/DC trip!
BUT WAIT!!! I haven’t registered yet……What does this mean for my child? Can my child still participate?
YES & YES!!!
In order to justify and cover costs for the second bus, we need at least 25 participants, which includes students and parents to be wait-listed.
Here is how it works:
Please do not delay! The sooner we open the second bus, the more time you have to pay. For example, after September 22nd,
your initial deposit PLUS the September payment will be due.
We know this trip is expensive. However, the educational experience of this trip is priceless. Remember, Fundraising can directly reduce the cost of your child’s trip.
Should you have any questions, please email:
