Dear Parents/Guardians and Students,
As a sixth grade staff, we would like to invite you to give your feedback on this year’s sixth grade trip. Please take home this sheet and discuss the various options. There are links provided for each activity and the estimated cost of each activity has also been included. Please keep in mind that this is only an estimate and does not cover the cost of busing and other miscellaneous costs. As a family, decide which activity is the most exciting and financially feasible. On Wednesday, during lunch, your child will have an opportunity to vote for your family’s choice of field trip. Please understand that although we are asking for your input, ultimately, the sixth grade teachers will make the final decision as a grade level, keeping cost in mind, so that all students may participate.
Sincerely,
Sixth grade teachers
