1. SEQ CHAPTER 1 October 12, 2009 Dear Fifth Grade Parents, As many of you know, for years, it has been a fifth grade tradition to go on a field trip to the Biltmore House in Asheville, North Carolina. After finding out the costs and having several discussions, we have decided to once again make the trip to the Biltmore in December. This will happen, of course, if we have the permission and commitment from you, the parents! We have made our reservations for Monday, December the 7th. The cost per student will be $35.00. This includes the student admission cost of $18.00 and the chartered bus fare. We will be traveling in the smallest bus, so unfortunately we will not have room for parents to ride with us. As always, parents are certainly invited to join us. The group admission cost for an adult is $40.00; you could then plan on carpooling with each other. Please think about this decision and let us know by Monday, October the 19th. Please return the bottom portion of this page with the information filled in along with your signature. Please call us if you have any questions. Hopefully, many of you will be able to attend. Please do NOT send $$$ yet! We look forward to hearing from you soon. We will send another note after hearing from everyone this week. Sincerely, Mrs. Susan Caton Mrs. Hannah Reeder Monday, December 7th Leave Green Valley by 8:30 Check in by 11:00/Picnic Lunch Tour Biltmore House 12:00 - 2:00 Visit shops 2:00 - 2:45 Leave Biltmore House at 3:00 Arrive at Green Valley between 5:15 and 5:30 ****************************************************************************** My child, ___________________________________, has permission to go on the 5th grade field trip to the Biltmore House on Monday, December the 7th.
