Dear Parents & Family of current 7th and 8th grade students,

We are very excited to announce that we will be leading a select group of students and parents on an educational tour to Washington, D.C. and Mt. Vernon on July 10-13, 2020. Together, we will embark on a journey taking us outside the classroom walls, where learning comes alive and lifelong memories are created.

There will be a short parent informational meeting to discuss this educational adventure on:

Monday, October 1st – 6:30 P.M.
at Maquoketa Middle School

We have made this journey affordable for all families. Enrolling in advance not only guarantees a reserved spot on the trip, but also makes each traveler eligible for an Early Bird Scholarship of $300. This ensures reasonable monthly installments of only $86 for families who take advantage of the scholarship opportunity.

Enroll before or on October 1st & save $300!

Tour logistics and awesome-ness will be handled by World Classrooms, an educational travel program. They will do everything possible to make sure we have a safe, well-organized, and fun experience. Please feel free to contact them with trip enrollment questions at 800.275.3980 or email Mrs. Cavanagh at kcavanagh@maquoketaschools.org or Ms. Scholl at ascholl@maquoketaschools.org.

We sincerely hope you will take advantage of this special opportunity to invest in your student’s future, and that you will consider joining us on this adventure as well!
