Dear Eighth Grade Families,
We are so excited for our upcoming trip with the eighth grade class to ZipZone Outdoor Adventures! As previously communicated, this trip will take place on Friday, September 10.
As a reminder, students will need to wear closed-toe shoes for this activity. While shorts will be permitted to be worn, they must be long enough to cover skin where the harness will be placed (we recommend at least mid-thigh length and not made of a material that is slick or slippery). As always, school-appropriate shirts (no tank tops, “cold-shoulder” or sleeveless shirts) are to be worn, and students may want to consider bringing an Academy sweatshirt as the current forecast predicts a somewhat chilly morning. Finally, students are asked to bring sack lunches (must be nut-free) on the day of our field trip.
Special thanks to Julie Woods and her fellow eighth grade parents/guardians for organizing a traditional breakfast that is in the works for the morning of our ZipZone trip. Breakfast will be served in the dining hall prior to our departure.
Thank you, as always, for the support that you provide to your children at home, as together school and home create a wonderful partnership. We look forward to a wonderful day.
Sincerely,
