Dear Northridge Students and Parents:
This year we will be offering a trip to Gettysburg and Washington, D.C. for eighth grade students and their parents. Classic Tours of Auburn will be making the arrangements for us. This is a NON-SCHOOL SPONSORED OR AFFILIATED TOUR. Mr. Miller is the trip sponsor and as such is compensated as a Classic Tours employee. The trip will be chaperoned by teachers and other adults as needed.
We will depart from Northridge Middle School the evening of Friday, May 30, via motor coach. We will travel to Washington by way of Gettysburg and arrive at our hotel on Saturday evening. We will leave Washington the evening of Tuesday, June 3, and arrive back at Northridge Middle School early the next morning, Wednesday, June 4.
Highlights of our trip will include a tour of the Gettysburg battlefield; a tour of Capitol Hill; a night tour of the memorials; visits to Arlington National Cemetery and Mount Vernon in Virginia; a dinner, dance cruise on the Potomac; several hours in the Smithsonian Institute museum complex and much more.
Deposits are due by January 9, 2025.
Final payment is due April 15, 2025.
A billing statement will be sent via email approximately three weeks prior to the final payment due date.
The number of reservations accepted is limited by bus size and will be based on the date deposits are received. Reservation priority is for students. Adults may be placed on a waitlist.
I am confident that a visit to Gettysburg and Washington, D.C. will provide a unique learning experience, as well as a valuable insight into our nation's history and government. If you have questions not answered by this letter please feel free to contact me at school.
Mr. Sam Miller
