Our trip is booked and the window is open if you want to start making payments to make the fees more manageable.

 *Do not sign up as a chaperone until we notify you. (This will be in August when we know a closer amount of student participants).

 **Please do email me if you are interested in being a chaperone. Include your name and your child's name in your email. jacqueline.ottosen@stjohns.k12.fl.us
