Dear Sixth Grade Parents:

 

It's almost time for the annual sixth grade class trip to the Dayspring Retreat Center in Ellenton, Florida, for a full day of team-building activities under the direction of Mark Lindsay with “Common Ground Adventures.”  In the past four years, this experience has proved to be successful at setting the tone for the year; we are all looking forward to it!   This field trip is mandatory for all sixth grade students.

 

On Wednesday morning, October 13, your children must be at Berkeley by 7:30 a.m. at the latest to board the buses for the drive to Ellenton.  We plan to return by 5:00 p.m., at which time you can pick up your child at the Buc Stop.  Coach transportation, the professionally directed team-building activities, and lunch will be included in the cost of $65 per student.  You will be billed for this through your school account.

 

Berkeley middle division teachers and administrators will be chaperones.  We’re looking forward to a day that will be both educational and fun.  Once again, this is a mandatory trip.  If you have any questions, please contact the middle division office.

 

Sincerely yours,

 

 

 

Martha Davis
