[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This is just the principal pushing for this because her son will  get to go and she will be one of the 2 chaperones. It is ideal for her, really. Unfortunately, everyone in the community was going with the assumption that it would be in 8th grade as it had been announced in prior years. Then it was announced for this year. She is pushing the fundraising very hard, but it is ludicrous to the think that anyone can fundraise that much money for a school trip in that short of time.  Presuming they fall short on their goal of fully funding all 35 kids, I'm curious how it'll be decided who will get the money they raise. Is if for kids who can't afford to go at all? Kids who may be able to contribute some but not all of the cost? Merit based?  [/quote]

Ha. More misinformation floating around DCUM. I guess thats to be expected.   Actually the fourth grade parents pushed the school administrative to change the date.  Sixth grade is an entering year for private school and some parents pushed their agenda for a fifth grade trip.   Also, parents are allowed to go, at their own expense of course.  I think it would be an invaluable opportunity for the children. I will accompany my child, and if I get financially lucky, I will try to find a way to extend a couple more days to tour Hong Kong without the school. [/quote]
