Lastly, please ensure that your student dresses appropriately both for the occasion and for the weather.  Attire need not be too formal; however, khaki pants and a nice shirt would be most appropriate.  It is likely that the weather in Chicago will be very cold.  Layering is the best option.

Parent Information*******

January 2009

Dear U-High Parent,                            

On Friday, February 13, 2009, our freshman class will be taking a field trip to Chicago to enjoy Shakespeare’s A Midsummer Night’s Dream and an afternoon at the Science and Industry Museum.  The cost will be $25 and is due Wednesday, January 14^th.  Any students who do not submit their money by this date will be unable to attend.  This twenty-five dollars covers the student’s admission fees to the Chicago Shakespeare Theater, the Museum, and travel costs.  This fee does NOT include lunch.  Your student is responsible for bringing his/her lunch or sufficient funds to purchase lunch at Navy Pier.  Students will have one hour for lunch at the Pier.

This is a wonderful opportunity for your student to experience Shakespeare on the stage and to see some of Chicago.  Additionally, this field trip provides a wonderful opportunity for our program to emphasize its cross-curricular goals.  However, because of the need to present a final count to both the theater and the museum, we will not have any flexibility if your student does not get his/her funds in by the required date.

If you wish your student to participate, please have him/her return with $25 no later than Wednesday, January 14^th.  Checks may be made out to University High School.   Please e-mail Amy Reiman (ahreima@ilstu.edu) or Brian Conant (btconan@ilstu.edu) with any questions or concerns.98

Sincerely,

The Freshman Program
