Less than 72 hours!

Less than 72 hours and we will be in D.C.! Check back to the blog for updates! 

A couple reminders from Mr. Beener before we go: 
Just some friendly reminders before we go:
• 3AM AT THE MIDDLE SCHOOL ENTRANCE… Bus will leave sharply at 3:30am.
• Please bring your lanyards- these must be worn at all times.
• I do have more blue luggage tags, also remember to tie your colored ribbon onto your bag.
• RAIN GEAR; please bring a rain coat and/or poncho, for rain. Something to put on over layered clothes.
• Pack clothes for all seasons. Plan to dress in layers to stay warm. Bring an extra pair of tennis shoes. NO FLIP FLOPS!!!!!! If a student walks down to breakfast in flip flops or underdressed they will be sent back to their room to change.
 • The hotel does not have a swimming pool, so no need for swimwear.
• Extended forecast: Monday 44/29 cloudy with flurries & snow showers possible, Tuesday 41/26 partly cloudy, Wednesday 43/27 Partly cloudy, Thursday 48/29 Partly cloudy, Friday 52/32 Sunshine/clouds mixed, Saturday 55/44 partly cloudy. As with any extended forecast this could change.  
• If your child has medications to take and you have already talked to me, do not forget to bring them in the original bottle. 
• Remember to bring your DC T-shirt and sweatshirt along. I’ve seen some students wearing these this week. They look pretty sharp.
• Chaperones will be asking students/adults in their groups for cell phone numbers. These will be used for communication on the trip, including helping with wake ups in the mornings, organizing group at different destinations, etc….
• The hotel wifi is not free. It is quite pricey and hardly worth the cost for students. However, students are welcome to access and use it if they wish, they just have to pay for it.
