I wanted to touch base with you all with important information about our KSU field trip as well as our Carowinds field trip that is for 8th grade only.
KSU Field Trip (6th-8th grade)
All participants, chaperones and students, must fill out the following form. This is the Subway order. Please fill this out even if you plan on bringing your own dinner to the trip.
It is vital that those who plan on traveling to Carowinds in April create an account ASAP. Our trip payments are spread out over months to make things more manageable.
Our chocolate bar fundraiser will be applied to the November 12th payment, not the initial downpayment. Every box of chocolate bars that was sold will credit $30 towards your trip! There are still more boxes to sell if anyone would like to sell more. We will also credit money towards our trip using the raffle fundraiser in January. Fundraising is a great way to lower the cost of the Carowinds trip!
Attached is the document with the trip itinerary, cost, and break down.

Chocolate Bar Fundraiser: Due Tomorrow
Our chocolate bar fundraiser has been a hit! Tomorrow is the due date for your current box. You are able to continuing selling chocolate for whatever box you are on, but must pay off the box so that our band program is able to pay the candy company.
Example: Sold $55 worth of chocolate. Turn in $60 to Ms. Menendez tomorrow by adding $5 in and sell your remaining five chocolate bars at your convenience.
I hope to draw for prizes by Friday and will reward the students with a pizza party the week that we return from Fall break.
Thank you all so much for your continued support and for participating. Our band fees are able to stay as low as they are through our two fundraiser each year!
We are excited to travel in October with our CMS band students! Both trips are optional and cost only $5. I hope that you will consider allowing your student to visit these places and learn about music in an exciting way!
