Dear East Coast Trip Family,
In a little over 2 months, we will be departing on our big adventure to Monticello, Washington D.C., Philadelphia, and New York. I can tell you from personal experience, that history travel is amazing. I am so very excited to be able to share the experience of visiting some of our most famous national treasures and landmarks with your child. For the past few months we have been finalizing our roster, and we now have a good idea of who is going on the trip, so it's time to inform you of some important dates.
Monday, Feb. 6th @ 2:40pm - Rio Norte MPR: Roommate Meeting
So, this is the meeting that all the students will be most interested in attending! This is my opportunity to become familiar with the kids, and we will finally have a chance for the students to meet their fellow adventurers who are going on the trip. This meeting is intended for students and teachers only. We will start with an ice-breaker activity, a quick check of vaccinations, and then we will move on to the all important process of choosing roommates. If your child cannot attend this meeting, it might be a good idea to have them designate a person to speak on their behalf regarding room assignments (unless they don't care who they room with). This meeting should take a little over an hour, and will conclude at 3:45pm.
Monday, Feb. 27th @ 2:40pm - Rio Norte MPR: Student Meeting
Topics to be determined
Wednesday, March 15th @ 6:00pm - Rio MPR: Pre-Departure Meeting
Organized by Nation's Classroom, and hosted by both myself and our tour company rep, this meeting will go over the specifics of the trip. We finally get to see our exact itinerary, and our hotel and flight information. Now that we know for sure everyone who is going on the trip, our tour company is working hard making final arrangements to secure the very best flights and hotels possible. This meeting is MANDATORY for the traveling student and at least one parent/guardian to attend, so please mark your calendar.
That should just about do it for now. I'm looking forward to a great trip, with a great group of kids. I will be trying to stay in contact with all of you on a pretty regular basis now as the trip gets closer.
On that note, I would also like to remind you (or inform you for the first time) that besides email, you can stay connected to the trip through my trip website, on Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram.
