Dear 8th Grade Families,

As part of the rite of passage to high school and as a culminating
activity of your students time in middle school, we go on a three days,
two nights excursion to Boston.~ The dates of the trip are Wednesday, May
25th through Friday, May 27th.~ As part of this trip students will stay in
a college dorm room, see Blue Man Group or Shear Madness, visit the
Science Museum, walk the Freedom Trail, and have the opportunity to visit
local colleges, eat in Chinatown and/or in the North End, and visit other
museums in Boston.~ This is a trip that your student will never forget.

The total cost of the trip is $350.~ To help with the costs there will be
ample opportunities for your student to fund raise for the trip.~ Your
student has a fundraising account.~ The amount that your student raises
will be deposited into your student's account.~ In April, the remainder of
the balance will need to be paid.~ Families will also have to option to
just pay the $350.~ To get the most out of this opportunity, I would
strongly suggest that your student be responsible for a portion of the
cost.~ Partial scholarships will be available to students, if they have
participated in the fundraising activities.

For the student that raises the most money, we are looking for a unique
experience for them and a friend. It may be dinner at a North End
Restaurant or a special show. The prize will be offered based on the
student's interest.

Tentative list of this year's fundraisers:

September – PTA Fundraiser – All students who participate, 50% of the
profits from their orders will go towards Boston.
November – Thanksgiving Pie Sale
December – February – Calendar Raffle
February/March – Spaghetti Dinner

If you or your student would like to organize a fundraiser, please contact
me and will try to make your idea work.

A letter went home with your child yesterday stating how much they have
earned for Boston. Please ask them for it.

If you have any questions or suggestions for fundraisers, please contact
Joe Smith at [ mailto:jsmith3@mtsd-vt.org ]jsmith3@mtsd-vt.org or 893-5529.
