Bon Voyage/Trial Run

We have decided to do something a little different this year as our Bon Voyage Party! We are going to do a trial run with the students!!

The rest of the leaders and I are very excited about this. We are going via Light Rail to the Dallas Zoo for the day.

Date: Saturday June 4th .
Time: 7:30 a.m. returning around 6 p.m.
Meeting Place: The back parking lot of Kohl's at Parker and 75.

We will be meeting in the parking lot, where the parents will say goodbye to their students for the day. From there, we will walk across the street to board the train and start our journey to Dallas Zoo. We will have fun activities at the planned at the zoo for the day including Lunch. The students will have a chance to practice their "counting off" skills and what it is like to stay together and travel as a group.

Once we arrive at the zoo, I will call Jasmine and she will activate the phone tree - making sure that works correctly before we depart to the UK!

The cost for this little mini trip will be $15 and includes light rail tickets, admission to the zoo and lunch. Please bring this money to the April 9th meeting so I can purchase the tickets ahead of time so we get the discounted rates. If the students want to bring extra spending money, this might be a good opportunity to practice their budgeting skills, although this is NOT necessary.

More information about this as we get closer to the date.
