Dear Upper School Families,

On Thursday, April 13 Upper School students will be having the first ever "Dam Day" at Jay Gee's in Methuen, MA. This is an exciting event for students planned by Upper School Student Council.

We will depart Beaver at 11:15 a.m. on buses after students attend their double-block class and the US talent show. We will return to Beaver by 3:15 p.m., and all afternoon activities will take place as scheduled. The baseball team will travel directly from Jay Gee's to their game on a separate bus. Students are not permitted to drive themselves. Spring NuVu students, unfortunately, will not attend.

Each student will receive a "fun pass" to Jay Gee's which includes a round of mini golf, bumper cars, batting cages, go-karts, and ice cream. We will also provide a pizza lunch for everyone. If your child needs a special lunch due to dietary restrictions, please let me know. Students can bring a few dollars if they want to participate in extra activities while they are there. Advisors will attend as chaperones.

If your US student will not be present on April 13, please be sure to email attendance@bcdschool.org so we have accurate attendance for the trip.

Below you will find an important note from the school nurse Kathy Harris about field trip medical information.

We hope all students will enjoy this year's Dam Day!

Associate Director of Upper School
