East Coast Adventure 2018...Here We Go!!

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.  There really is nothing like it; and I am 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. 5th @ 2:10pm - Rio Norte Rm. G-2: 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 or two 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 3:30.


Monday, Feb. 26th @ 2:10pm - Rio Norte Rm. G-2: Student Meeting 
Topics to be determined


Monday, March 19th @ 6:00pm - Rio Norte MPR: Pre-Departure Meeting 

Organized by USA Student Travel, 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 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 this page, you can stay connected to the trip on Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram.  You can "Like" our trip page at https://www.facebook.com/MrSheridansEastCoastAdventure  follow on Twitter at http://twitter.com/sheridantrip  or you can check us out on Instagram at http://instagram.com/sheridantrip  Finally, you can get updates sent to you as a text message on ANY cell phone (regular cell phone or smartphone) by texting the words follow @sheridantrip to 40404.

Payments for our Trip!

This is a quick reminder that full payment for our trip is due by January 15th!  Please be sure to check with USA Travel/Worldstrides that you are up-to-date and on the roster.  Once I have a finalized roster, I will send out dates for our student meetings around the end of January.
