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!!!!!
