[quote=Anonymous]Big $ field trips (big volunteer event): 
2nd Grade: Mount Vernon and Zoo (regular school buses and not too expensive)
3rd grade: Luray Caverns (GRECO day- the study Ancient Greek, Roman, Egyptian, China and can’t remember what the O stand for)
4th grade: Jamestown/Williamsburg (Colonial Day)
5th grade: Mount Vernon (Medieval Day)  perhaps they have switched to Medieval Times
6th grade: Gettysburg or Pamplin Park depending on if they can get into Pamplin Park.  
8th grade: Capitol Hill

The reason 3rd -6th grade field trips were expensive because they needed the buses with bathrooms.  If a field trip is more than x hours long, it is required. They use them in 8th grade so that they can get going earlier than the regular school buses are available.

I love that we have so many US historical sites within striking distance.

PTA pays for those who have trouble affording them, it is automatic if the child has free or reduced lunches, otherwise you have to ask.
