[SutherlandMatters] 8th Grade Trip

[David Rogers]

Eighth Grade Field Trip

"Extreme Physics"

at

Busch Gardens

 

Dear Parents/Guardians,

 

            We are planning to take the eighth grade students on a field
trip to Busch Gardens for  the "Extreme Physics" program.  Students will
scream, twist, and turn while understanding the thrill of rides at Busch
Gardens Williamsburg.  Whether calculating the velocity of the Loch Ness
Monster roller coaster or experiencing the g-forces of Apollo's Chariot,
students will explore the application of physics principles in the
life-sized laboratory of a theme park.  This program helps to make math
and science an inspiring adventure.  This self-guided program supports
National and Virginia Standards of Learning with pre- and post
activities.

 

            This trip is scheduled for Monday, June 2nd.  Departure time
for the trip will be 7:15 AM and arrival time back to school will be
approximately 8:30 PM.  The cost of the trip is $78 per student or $40
per student if they have a season pass to Busch Gardens.  A limited
amount of scholarship money is available for students who need it.
Please contact Ms. Rainey with these requests.  

 

            Please send a packed lunch and dinner or money with your
child on the day of the trip.  The plan is to picnic at the park for
lunch and to eat our dinner during the bus ride home.  Students may
purchase lunch and/or dinner at the park in lieu of bringing them.
However, we will not be stopping for dinner and a packed dinner or
purchase at the park is required.  Please make sure that no glass
containers are brought onto the bus.  Plastic twist-off top containers
are recommended.

 

            The coach buses we are taking to Busch Gardens are equipped
with VCRs.  Students may bring videos to watch, however, they must have
a G or PG rating.  Other electronic devises are allowed, but understand
that the school will not be responsible for any lost, stolen, or broken
equipment.  Music and video games must be appropriate for eighth
graders.  Student dress will be "sport" appropriate for park activities.


 

            We may need additional chaperones for the trip.  The cost
will be $78 per chaperone.  Only parents of students may be chaperones.
Please contact Mr. Criscione if interested.  Students who have
demonstrated a pattern of disruptive behavior will not be allowed to
attend.  

 

            Please return the attached permission form to your child's
first block teacher by Thursday, May 2nd.  The money must be received by
the eighth grade teachers no later than Friday, May 16th.  The cost of
the trip is nonrefundable after Friday, May 16th even if your child is
disqualified due to behavior.  If you have any questions, please contact
Mr. Criscione at 975-0599 ext. 311.

 

Sincerely,

 

Eighth Grade Core Teachers
