East Coast Trip - Let's get Walkin'!

Well, our East Coast Trip is about 6 weeks away.  This is just a quick suggestion to get out and start walking.  While on tour, we will be walking on average about 7 miles a day.  Granted it isn't all in one shot, but we will be going through museums, the national mall, battlefields, and major city streets in Philadelphia and New York.  It is easy to get tuckered out if you aren't in decent shape. 

I encourage all the East Coast Trippers to get out and walk at least a few times a week - and not just in P.E.!  If you are thinking about getting some walking shoes for the trip, I would suggest getting them now and breaking them in.  You don't want to be walking miles a day in new shoes...blisters hurt.  And while we are on the subject of shoes, we will have one "dress up" day for our Broadway play.  I would ask all our young ladies to please bring sensible shoes for this day - we will be walking before the show and you don't want high heel strappy shoes which will likely leave your feet cold and sore.  If you are looking for a complete list of things to pack, feel free to take a look at the suggested packing list by clicking on the "Packing List" tab at the top of this page.

I hope that everyone is getting as excited as I am to start our journey.  Remember that our Rio Norte students consistently get praised for their outstanding behavior on these trips...I am certain that this year's group will continue that tradition.  Be sure to review the student behavior expectation agreement that was sent in our most recent e-mail and linked in the last post from this blog.  Knowing what is expected of you will make it easier to make good choices.  That should do it for now.

A quick reminder that our next meeting is on Tuesday, February 26th in room D-6 at 2:10 pm.  During this meeting we will talk about chaperone groups, review the student agreement, and cover other interesting topics.

As always, if you have any questions, please feel free to e-mail, text (661) 621-3655, or even post a question on our Facebook page.

Take care,

Mr. Sheridan
