Dear Parents,
The 8th Grade Blue and Gold Teams are preparing for our spring field trip! This year we will travel to New York to visit Ellis Island, the Statue of Liberty, and the South Street Seaport on Thursday, May 22nd 2014. The trip offers a unique chance to explore the immigration experience, a topic which has been discussed in the students’ Reading, English, and Social Studies classes.
We will depart from Northley at 7:00 AM and return at 7:00 PM. Students must be at Northley at 6:30 AM. The cost of the field trip is $50.00 per student. Money is due by Friday, April 11, 2014. If you would like to make 2 payments, the 1st payment of $25 is due Friday, March 28, 2014. Please return the permission slip below with either cash or check payable to “Penn Delco School District” to the homeroom teacher. We will be eating lunch in New York. Students may pack their own lunch or bring money the day of the trip.
We are in need of chaperones for this trip and your attendance would be greatly appreciated. Please sign the attached form to indicate that you are interested. Chaperone space is limited. Chaperones will be notified by the team if they are chosen. Chaperone cost is $50.
