Dear Parents,
Thank you to all the people who have already handed in forms and funds for Victoria! I am pleased to announce that we already have more than enough volunteers and will happily accept more.
Supervisors: If you indicated interest on the form you are officially invited to supervise. However, due to the high number of volunteers this year, I must ask parents to pay a nominal fee to help cover the costs of ferry and IMAX tickets. I will send a notice to volunteer parents next week with the final amount after I have received all permission forms back. It will likely be the same or less than the kids’ fees. Thank you in advance for your understanding and cooperation!
Drivers: I was very grateful to see how many parents volunteered to drive. Given that we have a surplus of drivers, I am going to choose only the drivers who are also able to supervise on the trip. They will park at the ferry terminal and have their parking costs reimbursed by the school when they hand in their parking receipts.
With appreciation, I would like to say YES to the following:
Volunteer Drivers:
Mrs. Girard, Mr. Ison, Mrs. Lam, Mrs. Lupynis, Mrs. Schuss, Mrs. Ikegami and Mrs. Strik
Additional Supervisors (so far):
Mr. Hume, Mrs, Adrias, and Mrs. Weeks
Thank you again to everyone who volunteered. The kids are really looking forward to this trip and YOU are helping to make it possible.
Sincerely,
Ms. Andrea Phillips
