February Students of the Month
2025 8th Grade Washington DC Trip
Parents of Current 7th Grade Students
It is that time already.....time to plan for the Gettysburg/Washington DC field trip for the 8th graders. I briefly spoke to all of the current 7th grade students about the possibility of attending the Washington DC trip next school year. Each of the students received a packet describing the entire trip, how to register, and general information related to the trip.
Registration is done completely online through Student Adventures. This tour company has provided us an amazing trip year after year, and continue to provide a fun safe atmosphere allowing us to visit so many amazing monuments and landmarks. Please see the attached forms for more details. Please to not hesitate to reach out if you have any questions.
When you register for the trip please DO NOT pay in full. I will be adding funds to each student's account to offset some of the cost of the trip. I can not apply fundraising money towards student accounts until students are registered, usually around August.
