7th Grade Field Trip: Take 2
On Friday, January 29th, the seventh graders will be taking a field trip to Boston. While in the city, we will visit the Museum of Fine Arts and participate in a guided tour of “Secrets of Tomb 10A”, complete with a hands-on activity. Students will eat lunch at the MFA and then travel to 5Wits, an interactive Egyptian Tomb. Most students paid for the previous field trip, which had to be cancelled due to weather. Money paid for that trip will be transferred to this new field trip. Information: • • •
We will be leaving on the 7:00 am boat. Please be at the Vineyard Haven Steamship Authority between 6:30 and 6:45 am. The group will come back to the island on the 5:00 pm boat, arriving in Vineyard Haven at 5:45 pm. Please be prompt when picking up your child. The cost of the entire trip is $17.00 (or $30 if you did not pay for the previous trip).
Snacks/Lunch: • •
Snacks are permitted on the boat and bus. While students can purchase snacks on the boat, I would suggest packing snacks and water to drink for both the trip up and back. We will be eating lunch at the MFA. For an additional $7, you may choose to purchase a boxed lunch, which includes the following: chicken fingers, french fries, juice, and fruit. If you do not wish to purchase a boxed lunch, you may bring your own bagged lunch.
Reminders: • • •
This is a school trip, so no gum, candy, or soda is allowed. Music can be listened to on the bus, but cannot be brought into the museum. This is a cell phone free trip. Chaperones will have cell phones that students will be able to use if need be and the school will be able to contact us in case of emergency.
Thank you, Ms. Cunningham x256
