Dear Parents,
Our Auburn field trip is coming up, and here is the
information that you need for the trip! We will be leaving on the 12:10 pm
ferry on Sunday, December 4. Please drop your child off at the ferry at 11:45
am with a large sack lunch with many snacks for the afternoon. We will eat
lunch on the ferry. Dinner on Sunday and breakfast and lunch on Monday will be
provided. We’ll return on the 3:35 pm ferry on Monday, December 5. We will
arrive at the school at 5 pm on Monday, so plan on picking your child up at the
school then.
On Sunday evening, we will be going to the Journey to
Bethlehem that the Auburn Adventist Church puts on each year. This is a
real-life, interactive, outdoor journey through ancient Bethlehem. For more
information, please go to http://www.aaachurch.org/article.php?id=10.
We will be outside for this event, which lasts about 30 minutes, and it is in
the evening, so please send a warm coat, a hat, and gloves for your child to
wear.
We will stay at Buena Vista Adventist Elementary School on
Sunday night.
On Monday morning, we will be attending The Nutcracker
ballet in Arlington. We will enjoy this classic Christmas production while
having exposure to professional ballet. This will be a formal theater
experience, so please send your child with clothes for Monday that are more
dressy/church-like. A recommendation would be collared shirts, non-jean pants,
skirts for the girls, etc. After the ballet, we will head back to the ferry for
our return trip home.
Things to bring:
Sleeping bag
Pillow
Warm clothes for J2B
Change of dressy clothes for Monday
Toothbrush and toothpaste
Brush/comb
The fee for this field trip is $20 if you haven’t paid for
the field trip package. Please send the money in by Friday, December 2.
I am still working on our activity for Sunday afternoon
before Journey to Bethlehem begins. I will let you know details on that
activity ASAP. Let me know if you have any questions! It will be an amazing
trip where we will get to enjoy and experience many festivities of the
Christmas season!
