Our 5th grade students and Lindsay will be going on a field trip to JA Biztown on January 28. This is an annual field trip that our students look forward to immensely. In order for this field trip to run smoothly, we need 2 parent volunteers (parents are the hub of this amazing operation). You will be responsible for overseeing a student run business.
As you consider whether or not you would like to attend, please consider the following:
- It is the policy of Discovery Gateway that parents will not be placed in the same job as their own child
- Volunteers need to arrive at Discovery Gateway by 8:30 am for an orientation prior to the start of the simulation
- Volunteers should be willing to drive students as well
- Parking fees will be assessed (Discovery Gateway gives us some validation, I believe parking was about $3 last year)
- Field Trip lasts the entire school day, plus driving time in the morning
- No siblings will be allowed
This is an amazingly fun and rewarding field trip to chaperone. Your children learn and grow so much during this experience.
If you are interested in volunteering for this field trip, please let me know no later than Friday, January 8.
Also, be looking for a permission slip to come home in the next couple of days.
Thanks in advance!
