10th Grade Field Trip- Holocaust Museum

April 24th

On Thursday, April 24, we will be going on a field trip to the Holocaust Museum in Dallas. This will be a required field trip for the whole class as it will be during school hours. We will leave the school at 9:45 that morning and return at about 2:15. So, you won’t have to worry about picking your child up at any different time than normal. The cost will be $8.00 per person and I have put in that I will have 2 other adults with me just in case anyone wants to come, otherwise, it’s not required for parents to attend. We will pay when we get there. Please make sure to send the money with your student. There is a small gift shop that has snacks if your student may want something on the way out. We will eat lunch while there. Please send your students regular lunch with them in their lunch bags.

 

When: Thursday, April 24, leaving at 9:45am returning around 2:15pm.

Where: Holocaust Museum, 300 N Houston St, Dallas, TX 75202

Cost: $8. Students can also bring money for gift shop.
