8th grade overnight in May

Hello everyone,

This is a repeat of my earlier note about the 8th grade overnight because we only have 3 possible chaperones at this point and we need MANY more.

The trip to Hyde Park will be $185 per student.  Checks payable to Brooklyn School of Inquiry can be sent to Chris in the main office by April 15th.  Remember: we *really* want everyone to participate in this trip, so if you need to speak with me privately about financial assistance, I am at my post.

We need parent chaperones!  Please sign up here:

Here’s a draft itinerary for the trip:
