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.
Tentative list of this year’s fundraisers:
September – PTA Fundraiser – If your student participates, 50% of the profits from their orders will go towards Boston.
October – Dan’s Chocolates
November – Thanksgiving Pie Sale
November – Dan’s Holiday Cards, create your own custom cards for the holidays
December – February – Calendar Raffle
March – Spaghetti Dinner
April – Fire Truck Pull
