Dear Parents,

 

Rather than have lots of questions circulating, I thought it would be best to address this in a note and answer them directly:

 

  1. WHAT: - Tickets to see the Broadway musical “Wicked” – the prequel to “The Wizard of Oz” in Chicago.  There are presently 37 left of the 45 that were purchased.  My balance on the contract is due on September 10th, so I am in a time crunch to get these tickets sold.  First come, first serve, as quickly as possible.

 

  1. WHEN: - Wednesday, December 8th.  Students will be given an advanced make-up, as it is a chorus “field trip,” and it will not be counted as a day of absence.

 

 

  1. We will leave in the morning, by school bus, have lunch at Navy Pier, see the 2 PM matinee, leave Chicago about 5:15 PM, have supper at the Belvidere Oasis and return home between 8:30 PM and 9:00 PM.

 

  1. Cost - $50 per person – which includes ticket and bus.  Food costs are on your own.  (2 fast food meals – but the one at Navy Pier will be a little more expensive)

I have told the students that when we do our cheesecake fundraiser in November, I will give them back $3 of every $5 we make on the cheesecakes up to the price of the entire cost of their ticket.

 

     5.  Because our tickets will be spread in different areas of the balcony, all students in 6th-8th grade will need to have an adult present.  If you cannot personally attend, you must make arrangements with the parents of someone who is attending. 

 

If you have any questions, please feel free to call or e-mail me – 745-2641, or sgb@205warren.net.

 

Thanks!

Sue Bourquin
