Some thoughts for Sponsors

None of this is intended to be insulting, but I’ve been on about

40 school trips…..

Traveling as a group Not the same as traveling with your

family Group needs to come first Moving/Feeding/Performing/Dealing

with 230 people - things can move quickly - you can be the reason they do

PLEASE Be early Have your kids be

early Be early Have your kids be

courteous Be early

Be early Look for what our

kids might need Bring large problems

to the directors Get to know the kids

- they’re pretty cool! BE EARLY!!!!!
