NORTHMONT MIDDLE SCHOOL
2009-10 Washington, D. C. Trip
December Updates
Registrations
You may still register your child for our Washington, D. C. trip. The final deadline is not until January, however, we do encourage you to sign up as soon as you can. Keep in mind that if your child has been involved with fund raising activities, we cannot send their profit to World Strides until they are registered. Currently the enrollment is at 279. The more that go means the more teachers that can go to chaperone. You can still register for just the $99 fee, but you must be paid in full by mid-February. If you need a new registration packet, we still have a few here in the office.
Financial Aid
In the next week or so, we will be handing out the first group of financial aid. This aid will be the free half trips given to us by World Strides based on our enrollment. Students are chosen by each team based on the applications they submitted and will be notified in writing just prior to Winter Break. More aid will be handed out in January.
Fund Raising Activities
Our parent group has now completed both sales for the year. Money will be sent to World Strides to be applied to each student’s account that has been registered at the time in January. This went very well with over 200 students actively participating. Currently there are no plans for any other fund raising activities. A huge thanks goes to those parents who gave their time and efforts to make these two activities very successful.
In Closing
As always, if you have ANY questions (no matter how trivial), DO NOT hesitate to call Mr. Eyler at school, 832-6000. Our middle school web site also contains a great deal of information. You can also check the World Strides web (www.worldstrides.com) site. We look forward to having your student be a part of a truly once in a life time experience.
