CLASS TRIP
On Friday, the 7th and 8th grade will be going to Washington DC. This is a wonderful
opportunity and privilege for our students. There are several rules which will be strictly
enforced to insure safety and a good time.
We will be leaving at 6:30 am. Students may pack breakfast and snacks for the bus. They
MUST pack a bag lunch. Absolutely no peanut butter or peanut products are allowed on the
bus. Please do not pack glass bottles. We will be enjoying lunch at approximately 11:30 am
prior to entering the Capitol as the Capitol tours forbid food and beverages. Students
should bring money for dinner. $20 should be sufficient for most students as pizza and
salads will be on the Lenten Friday menu.
Groups will be formed prior to the trip and students must remain in their group and with the
adult at all times. Groups will separate during the day to see different museums along the
national mall. We will be walking to the monuments along the National Mall and Tidal Basin.
We are fortunate that the Cherry Blossoms are in bloom.
Students are to wear appropriate pants with their gym shirt. 8th grade should wear their 8th
grade shirt. 7th grade should wear their blue MTRS gym shirt. Since we will be visiting the
Capitol, shorts, skinny jeans, sweat pants, ripped or torn pants are not permitted. Please
keep in mind that we are representing our school to the Nation’s Capitol. Students who are
not dressed appropriately will not be allowed to board the bus.
For the bus ride and trip, students may bring an Ipod but they are responsible for it.
Cameras are also permitted and encouraged. Students MAY NOT bring cell phones even if
this is their Ipod and camera. If a parent has an emergency, please contact Mrs. Wisk at
.(JavaScript must be enabled to view this email address). Students may want to consider a small back pack (no larger
than 14” wide by 13” high by 4” deep) to contain their personal items.
A Honeywell will be sent to parents when we are approximately one and a half hours away
from arrival at school. We anticipate that being near midnight.
Please be sure that your child is aware of the rules and is prepared adequately for the trip.
This will be a wonderful opportunity.
