Interested in Mr. Sheridan's East Coast Adventure 2017?

If you are a current 7th grader at Rio Norte and you would like information on next Spring's trip to the east coast (2017), you and your parents are invited to attend an important information meeting on Thursday May 5th at 6:00pm in the MPR.  Come on by Rm.

Thank You East Coast Trip Family!!

Thanks for being a great group!  Thank you parents for allowing your child to experience this trip...I know that they made memories that will last a lifetime.  Our commemorative photos are in, and can be picked up in Room P-2.  Thanks again and good luck next year!

Can You Believe it?! Tomorrow is the Day!

Well, folks we are coming down to the wire.  Just a couple of quick things for kids and parents:

Wear your blue USA shirt tomorrow.  We will be wearing this shirt for over 24 hours before we arrive at our first hotel. For this reason, I STRONGLY urge that you take a showe
r within the hour before you arrive at Rio.  We’ll all be grateful that everyone is fresh and clean when we have to share an airplane and a bus together.
Do a final packing check.  Batteries and chargers are the most frequently forgotten-at-home accessories on this trip.  Go through your whole packing list and check and double check.  I already have mine laid out on “The Table.” :-)

Let’s keep in touch. Once the trip begins, I will no longer be sending out these regular broadcast e-mails to parents (you may get just one or two, or maybe not).  Instead, I will be posting regular updates on the blog, Twitter, Instagram, and Facebook.   Check from work, check from home, my goal is to post a trip update every 4-6 hours (
hopefully more than that).  These links are great to share with family and friends (grandmas love my facebook page!).  Just a reminder that there are a number of ways to follow the trip:

Check the weather lately?  If you've been watching the weather, you’ll see some very typical East Coast weather for early spring: cold and some rain. Be prepared for this weather. I strongly suggest a small umbrella, caps and gloves. Weather forecasts can change, too, so be prepared for warmer weather just in case. 

Layer.  
Additionally, as I already mentioned, there is no need to "dress up" for out Broadway play.  The weather might be cold and wet, plus we'll be touring all day before we make our way to the show.  Something nice but practical for walking around Manhattan would be best.
 
I will probably send one final message before we leave, but if not, I will see you tomorrow in the Rio Norte front parking lot by 5:45 p.m.! Remember to park under the solar panels and NOT in the red zone. Additionally, I will be 
weighing bags before they get on the bus, so be sure to be under 45 lbs.  Thanks so much!
