Members of the Class of 2018 will have one last chance to celebrate together before graduation at the annual Senior Trip. It will be held on Friday, June 1 and, while the rest of the Armijo students will be experiencing their last Friday of the school year, those seniors participating will be headed to California’s Great America in Santa Clara.

Students who are interested in attending need to pick up permission slips from Mr. Brad Burzynski in AG-5. Once the permission slip is filled out, the senior should bring it and $105 in cash to the treasurer’s office. Forms will be given to the student to verify that they have paid for the trip and, to choose what bus a student wants to travel on, he or she must bring the form to Mr. Burzynski before school, during lunch, or after school. Those who want to ride in the same bus as their friends are encouraged to sign up while there is room available.

The $105 price includes transportation to and from Great America, admission to the park, an All-You-Can-Drink wristband and a $15 meal voucher for the park eateries. There are only 212 seats available for the trip and they will be distributed on a first come – first served basis. Seniors should be aware that they are not allowed to go to the park on their own; they must be part of the approved trip to attend. Tickets must be purchased by Wednesday, May 30 but may sell out before that date.

On the morning of the trip, students will line up at 8 am at their assigned buses in front of the main gym. Students must have their school ID to get on the bus. Open food and drinks will not be allowed, which means no Starbucks or Dutch Brothers, but food or drink in sealed containers is allowed.

It is expected that the buses will arrive at Great America around 10 and seniors from other local schools will be there to have fun in the park until 7 pm. The buses are expected to return to Armijo by 8:30 pm, depending on traffic conditions. This is a school trip, so behavior and attire must comply with the district and school policies.
