Mark your calendars! 8th graders will head to Cedar Point to engage in a three day, two night experience that captures students’ imaginations through travel, learning and service. The trip is scheduled for Wednesday June 7th- Friday June 9th. Students can expect to experience all Cedar Point has to offer. We will visit the park, dine out together and complete service experiences in and around Lake Erie. This trip will allow students and teachers to celebrate and enjoy their last couple of weeks at ECS as a class before they move on to high school and should not be missed! Each student is expected to pay $235 for the trip. Registration and payment are due Friday, May 5th. Families have two options to pay for the trip. OPTION ONE: Pay the fee for the trip for your child/children. OPTION TWO: Pay as much of the fee as possible and apply for a scholarship by emailing [email protected] & [email protected] to cover the rest of the cost.
