National Aquarium Visit:

This adds a fun, but educational (shhhh....don't tell the kids!) element to the trip! Because this was not originally budgeted for, we will need to collect $30 per student. If you plan to follow along with the buses and would like to join the band at the aquarium, tickets are available for your purchase at the group rate on the ordering form. These should be ordered and paid for no later than October 8.
