INFORMATION ABOUT 10TH GRADE TRIP TO SOUTH PADRES ISLAND

Please Note: 

A Message from Mrs. Shields

Students will be traveling May 25th-28th

• Students need to arrive on campus no later than 8:00am, 5/25
• Pack light (one bag)
• Don’t forget swimsuits and sunblock (girls need a t-shirt cover-up for their suits)
• NIA dress code still applies (whatever is allowed on free dress day is appropriate)
• Bring money for snacks or souvenirs

The kids will have the opportunity to play on the beach, but no deeper than knee deep in the water. If you DO NOT want your child in the water, please let me know. 

FUNDRAISING

We had hoped to raise enough funds to cover all of the cost of meals, but that just didn’t happen. I know for some this will not be a problem, but for other's it might present a financial hardship. In an effort to offset the cost for those families, we are hosting a GARAGE SALE

SATURDAY & SUNDAY, this weekend. I am requesting donations to the sale, ALL PROCEEDS WILL BENEFIT THE TRIP, anything not sold will be donated to MISSION ARLINGTON.

Donations can be left at:

6704 High Country Trail

Arlington, TX 76016

Friday before 2:30pm or after 4:00pm

We will not have a parent meeting before the trip, so please email me with any questions and I will respond to the group as a whole. If you’re wondering about something, someone else is too.

Please contact me with any questions,

Susan Shields, Parent Volunteer Trip Coordinator
