The charter bus rules allow students to bring clear drinks and snacks for the bus ride. Drinks must be clear and have a screw on top. NO sunflower seeds, Doritos, Cheetos or gum. These are the charter bus rules regarding snacks and drinks.

Parents should pick their students up at BGIS no later than 4:30. We will call you or have your student call you on the way home if we are running early or late.

The students will stay in groups of 10 with a chaperone throughout the day. We are aware of all students with medical needs and will carry needed medication or emergency meds/instructions on the trip. 

Feel free to drive down on your own and watch our performance at 10:30 and if you want, you can find your student's group afterwards and stay with us at the fair for as long as you like. Adult general admission at the door is $12. Even if you are planning to drive down, your student must ride the bus to and from Montgomery with us. Students will be put in groups with a chaperone and must stay with their group the entire time. 

This is an all day trip and we will return to the school at 4:30. Students must have someone pick them up at BGIS at 4:30. If you cannot pick your child up at 4:30, please arrange for your child to have a ride. Students will purchase lunch at the fair on their own from the food trucks and will need cash (approx. $10-$15)on the day of the trip for that. Students may also pack a lunch if they choose not to purchase a lunch. 

Students will wear their choir t-shirts for this performance and khaki pants. (Khaki pants are purchased on your own). I do have extra shirts if you still need to pay the $15. Since it is past the deadline, it is not online--please just send in a check or cash and I will send a shirt home with them. Students should wear tennis shoes.
Students must wear their black choir t-shirt with khaki pants to school on Monday, October 31st.
Here is a picture of our group performing at the fair.
