[quote=Anonymous]OP-this is very nice of you but just some words of advice so that your generosity gets to the proper recipients. In my experience with arranging trips for my kids (my oldest is in HS so I have years of doing this), leave it to the teacher's discretion to reach out to families who really can't afford the cost. If you put out a statement like the one in aprevious post, you will have people take advantage of your generosity. Kind of the mentality of "oh, I don't have to pay, ok, I won't" not "I can't". And interestingly, families who really can't, rarely ask, likely out of embarassment. They will scrape it together at the last minute or say the kid is sick on the day of the trip or make another excuse. This is best dealt with by the teacher-quietly-he/she should know who needs the assistance and can let them know that the priority is to have the kid participate and not to worry about the money.
