Sugar Bowl Trip final payments

Hello Everyone: We are working hard to try and get final payment amounts out to all students before Thanksgiving. Those amounts will be calculated by the day's end, but students who have band earlier in the day did not receive their payoff amount in class. We will make an announcement for them to come and pick it up later. If your child returns home today without the amount and you need to know over break, you may email Angel Smith at angel.smith@dist428.org to find that information. We will also have the sheets ready to go home on Monday next week, should your child be unable to bring it home today. The final amount that each traveler will be paying ended up being $882 per person. This includes a number of meals that have been added and the cost of 101 travelers paying for 112 spots on the buses. Those changes account for the slightly elevated cost of the trip (initial estimates were closer to $820 per person). Each student will be receiving $92 from the music boosters and $30 from the various fundraisers that the band has held, meaning that the cost per person is really $760 per person. If your child did no individual fundraising and you have made the $350 deposits requested to date, you would owe us $410 for the trip. The sheets being passed out today will include all deposits and individual fundraising. In order to give us the time needed to process all of the checks and mail the money to our travel provider, we are asking everyone to return final payments by December 7. Please feel free to email if you should have any questions. We will be able to return phone calls next Monday. Have a Happy Thanksgiving, Mr. Lundin
