5-8th Grade Trip
TO: Parents of Students in Grades 5-8
FROM: Rabbi Mordechai Weiss
RE: Year End Washington Trip
Dear Parents,
On Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday, June 16th – 18th, we are scheduling
a
3-day trip to Washington, DC for all students in grades 5-8. Our tentative
program includes visiting the Holocaust Museum, the Smithsonian, the Mint,
the White House, the Capital, the Washington Monument, an evening tour
of
the Lincoln, Jefferson and Roosevelt Memorials, going to a baseball game,
and visiting Baltimore Harbor, the Science Museum and the Aquarium.
I encourage all the students to take part in this exciting trip. However,
we have forty-eight spaces available on the bus and thus we are forced
to limit spaces on
a first come first serve basis. The trip will cost $250 per child. Limited
Scholarships are available. Please contact me at your earliest convenience
if there is a need. Children will be staying in a hotel, and all food
and entrance fees are covered by the $250 fee.
In order to make the payment for this trip easier for you, I ask that
you submit before October 8th a deposit of $100. This will insure a spot
for your child and will help us in the planning of this trip. Parents
may also opt to pay this amount monthly so that it does not become a burden
when we ask for the full amount.
Thanking you in advance for your cooperation.
Sincerely,
Rabbi Mordechai Weiss
Principal
