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, large estates, 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. I would also suggest bringing two pairs of
shoes on the trip in the event that the weather is uncooperative and one
pair gets wet. 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. I will be handing out a
student behavior expectation agreement at our next student meeting on
the 26th. Be sure to review the agreement and have both the student and
Parent/guardian sign it and return it to Mr. Sheridan by the departure meeting on the 24th of March (students can turn it in to Mr. Sheridan sooner than that if it is completed). 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 student/chaperone meeting is next Thursday, 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 - this meeting should take about an hour.
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
