END OF THE YEAR CHOIR TRIP TO:

MICHIGAN ADVENTURE

Thursday, May 29, 2014

 This letter will be going home with your child on Wednesday, May 30

Well, parents ~ we are almost here!!  Can you believe we are planning our final trip for the year?? We are busy preparing for our POPS concert, final exams, and all the fun we will have at MI Adventure!!!  Here is the lowdown:

Tickets for the both the water park and the regular park will be $20.00 total which includes lunch!!

Traveling with 2 buses will cost approximately $800.00 for all 100 students.  Total for busing per person will be $8.00!

Grand total for kids ~ $28.00

There will be a few students who CANNOT afford to pay so I will be paying for them so that ALL the kids can attend!  If you can bump your check up to $30 to help off-set those who cannot pay – I would greatly appreciate it!  Every little bit helps!!  No worries if you cannot!  I know times are tough!!

It will be a long day as we will leave around 9am and will return hopefully before 7PM to Crossroads Middle School! Have kiddos eat a good breakfast, we will serve them lunch, but we will NOT be getting dinner!  They may want to bring extra cash for snacks throughout the day!! However, it is NOT required!!

Students should wear their choir shirt and shorts/pants!  They should also bring their appropriate bathing suit!  There are lockers to put clothes in while they are at the water park!  Send some change for lockers!!  Please call or email with any questions or concerns!

I NEED CHAPERONES SO PLEASE LET ME KNOW IF YOU CAN HELP OUT!!!

Hello all,

I am Erik Childers and I will be student teaching with Mrs. Hjelm through this April. I go to GVSU and study Vocal/Choral Education with a minor in Piano. I am really looking forward to working with such bright students and energetic personalities - I feel we will make this a great experience for all of us.

I originate from the Muskegon area, but have been living in the Grand Rapids area for about 5 years now. I am still getting acquainted with the area - so, please introduce yourself if you ever get the chance. I am excited to get to know all of you and make some great music at such a GREAT school.
