Aquatica Trip-Wednesday June 10

Screen Shot 2015-06-01 at 7.55.26 AMThe 8th grade will take a fun graduation trip to Aquatica Waterpark on Wednesday June 10. We will leave OTA at 9:15 and return in time for 3:00 dismissal (or you may give permission for your child to stay at the waterpark for the afternoon). We will need a few parents who are willing to drive/chaperone the trip.

Students will need to bring a water bottle, swimsuit, a towel, and money for lunch/snacks. While outside food is not allowed in the park, they may bring a snack to have on the way there/back.

Here’s what you need to “Know Before You Go”

A big thank you to the Gray family who was able to get the class tickets for this fun event!
