Dear Student,

We will be invited guests at the Christkindlmarkt. This is a big event. You must be on your absolute best behavior. It reflects on you, us and your school. If you are involved in ANY horseplay or inappropriate behavior, your parent will be called to pick you up and your citizenship grade will be lowered.Don’t risk it.

Herr Jackson and Frau Sandstrom

I understand the expectations and I agree to demonstrate exemplary behavior during this activity.
