Destination Mars Competition
March 8, 2023
Field Trip Information
3/8/23
Dear Sixth Grade Families,
On Thursday, March 9th, our sixth graders will be competing in the Destination Mars Competition. In the morning, students will not be going to their classrooms. Please drop your child(ren) off and have them meet me in the GSP Room 501 at 8:20am. The schedule is very tight and a late arrival will result in our teams having less time to set up their Base Camps at the competition site (located at the School Board Building in Viera).
Schedule
- Arrive to Freedom 7 at 8:20am and meet me in GSP Room 501.
- At this time, I will give students their Destination Mars shirts to put on and then we’ll load the bus.
- Depart around 1:15pm and return to school around 1:45pm.
Students will need:
- A packed lunch in a lunchbox unless you ordered a lunch from the cafeteria
- Water bottle
- Book to occupy student during downtime
Optional
- Towel to sit on while we eat lunch outside
- Sweater/jacket if they get cold easily
- Drawing materials
Students will leave the following at school:
- Backpack for when students return to their homeroom
- Cellphone (You may reach us via my phone 813-843-3243 and I will relay the message.)
Chaperones
- Please meet me in the GSP Room 501 at 8:20am. Bring a water bottle, lunch, any and snacks you would like.
Thank you so much for your support. Please let me know if you have any questions.
Warm regards,
