North Lake Season 2 Fall Sports Registration
👀11/05/2022 Deadline to Sign-Up for the Washington DC Spring Break Trip
The longstanding tradition of Spring Travel is back at North Lake. While this is NOT technically a "school" field trip, it is open to North Lake Students, their family, and friends.
For over 20 years, North Lake Middle School Students (and their parents) have been provided with an opportunity to travel to Washington DC and New York City over Spring Break.
While on this educational trip, students will go to all of the major Monuments, Museums (Air And Space, Art, History, Science + ) and Memorials (Lincoln, MLK, WWII, +) in DC as well as Times Square, Statue of Liberty, Wall Street, Central Park, 911 memorial, 5th Avenue, and a Broadway Show in NYC…and MUCH MORE! The trip is an enriching, educational, and entertaining experience for both students and adults.
The trip cost includes flights, hotels, meals, guides, a broadway show, tickets, and passes. There are two prices based on room occupancy. Registration is only 99$. Registration packets are available in Room 302 (from Mr. Krause). There is limited space available… so it is first come first serve (don’t get left behind). There is a fundraiser to make the trip more affordable or “free” if someone is willing to put in the work.
