Fourth Grade Field Trip to Ruby Falls in Chattanooga TN

Dear Parents:

As you know we are planning an end-of the year out of state field trip.  We are going to Ruby Falls and Rock City in Chattanooga on the 21^st of May.  Mrs. Johnson gathered the information and came up with a list of activities that the tour company provides.  We are looking to do a three way group tour—Ruby Falls, Rock City, and Incline Railway. The cost of the tour is $16 for children and $38 for adults. The cost of transportation through Harmon Brothers Charter Service will be an extra $14 (PTA field trip funds has assisted with the reduction of the transportation cost from $22 to $14.)

·         $14 will be due April 25^th

·         Final Payment of $16 will be due on the 15^th of May.

In order to assist with the cost of the field trip we would like to have a bake sale on April 24^th and 25^th. We are looking to sell during our lunch time as well as after school. Each class will be expected to bring in a baked good—sweet and/or savory.  If any of you would like to assist with organizing the set up of the tables and to monitor the process, it would be greatly appreciated.  The students would be responsible for the money and setting the cost for the goods.  To add a little more to the excitement, the boys and girls will be competing to see who can raise the most money!  Their sales will depend on their creativity and business savvy.  Their location, marketing, and personality will be a great factor in this competition J.

If you have any other resources (at no cost to the child) to make this trip even more exciting—goody bags, special water bottles, snacks, t-shirts, etc.—please let your child’s teacher know.
