Chicago Info
I have also received many questions about the BJ's Fundraiser and trip cost. The plan was to lower the cost of everyone's trip with this fundraiser, however, we have had many students who paid a deposit back out of the trip in the last week. This significantly impacts the cost of the trip as we had spread the cost of the bus and hotel over the number of permission slips and deposits received. Rather than raise the cost of the trip for everyone (which is not fair), we have decided to use the fundraising money from BJ's to help keep the cost of the trip ($960) unchanged.
We hope everyone understands this. If anyone needs more time to make payments, we can certainly work with you. We are very much looking forward to this trip and opportunity!

If anyone is interested in one of our open spots, I need to know by Monday at the end of the school day before I finalize all reservations.
