Our 5th graders are SO excited for tomorrow! Just a couple reminders and information about tomorrow:

• Pick up your child at OTA between 12 and 12:30pm tomorrow
• Eat a BIG lunch (sailors will not have mealtime for quite awhile once aboard)
• Change into pants and grab your gear. (Gear should be placed in a labeled trash bag, in case it gets wet). You can find the packing list here: WhattoBring
• Arrive at the Star of India NO LATER than 2:30. Plan to arrive at 2:15pm. (1492 North Harbor Dr. San Diego, CA 92101) When you drop off your student, please look for the box marked on the pavement across from the Star of India, that is where I will be!
• Once aboard, students will participate in a role play as if they are sailors immigrating to the United States! They will work, eat, and live as if they lived in the 1870s.
• FYI– Rumor has it, students will not receive a lot of sleep tomorrow night. Go to sleep early tonight and get lots of rest! They will be very tired on Thursday!
• Arrange to pick up your child at 9am on Thursday in the same location. There is no school for 5th grade on Thursday. 
• PARENTS: Please read the information about how you can participate from afar. The hope is for every child to receive one: PLEASE READ: VOHletters
• If you have graciously volunteered to participate on this voyage of hope with us, please make sure you have filled out the Adult Medical Form. (I also sent home an information page with your child today). You will receive information tomorrow about parking. There is meter only parking, please bring a few quarters to park initially.

If you have any questions, please email me!!

I’m excited for tomorrow! Dress warm!
