Dear Roosevelt Students and Parents:
I will be offering a trip to Washington, D.C. for the upcoming eighth grade students. Classic Tours of Auburn will be making the arrangements for us. This is school-sponsored and all school rules and regulations apply during the trip. The trip will be chaperoned by teachers and other adults as needed. In order to participate you must be passing all classes and you will be disqualified from participating if you have an in-school suspension or violate the code of conduct for extracurricular activities.
We will depart from Roosevelt Middle School the evening of Friday, August 30, via motor coach. We will arrive in Washington the following morning and begin our tour of the city. We will check into our hotel in the DC area that evening. We will leave Washington the afternoon of Monday, September 2, and arrive back at Roosevelt Middle School around 1:00 am.
Highlights of our trip will include a tour of the Capitol building; a night tour of the memorials; visits to Arlington National Cemetery and Mount Vernon in Virginia; time in the Smithsonian Institute museum complex and much more.
Deposits are due by April 30, 2024.
Final payment is due July 18, 2024.
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 WAIT LIST.
I am confident that a visit to 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 or the enclosure, please feel free to contact me at school.
Mrs. Holst
