REMINDER:
Dear Parents and Sixth Graders,
Departure for the trip is this FRIDAY, September 15th, at 8:45am. All fathers should arrive by 7:45am to put their luggage and lunches on the buses near the football field. Boys and fathers should both bring a sack lunch (drinks will be provided). Fathers will then go to the EC Commons where coffee and breakfast will be provided. There will be a brief meeting at 8:15am in the EC Commons. Boys are to report to school at the regular time and go to their homerooms.
The business office will bill you $975.00 for the total cost of the trip. This will include two nights at the hotel, transportation to and from St. Louis, and transportation to all events. It also includes tickets for the baseball game, Six Flags, Rec-Plex, the St. Louis Arch, and meals at the hotel. Additional money will be needed for food at the ball park, lunch on Saturday at Six Flags, lunch on Sunday at the St. Louis Zoo, and for any souvenirs or snacks you may want to buy during the trip. Because it is a group trip, please do not plan or request individual excursions.
The dress code for the boys will be appropriate school clothes. Boys will not need a coat and tie. Hats are permissible outside only. Bring a swimsuit for the Rec-Plex pool if you intend to swim Saturday night. You may want to bring an umbrella or rain gear because most events go on as scheduled. We have already taken care of all reservations and tickets. We have attached an itinerary and a bus list. I am looking forward to a great trip with the boys and fathers.
Sincerely,
Dennis Smith
Director of Athletics and Operations
