February 13th Update

What a fun packing meeting!

We’re now 3 weeks away from departure which means it was time for our packing meeting! Everyone showed up in the Dodge Room last night full packed and ready to go! We then worked through lots of activities that included:

  • Learning about how to efficiently pack our bags. Packing cubes/zip lock bags are key!
  • Figuring out what needs to be added to the packing list: PJ’s, portable alarm clock, and…? If you have things to add to the list, email them to me!
  • Going over the Travel Safety, Health, and Rules Agreement form. Everyone needs to sign it and return it to me by this Thursday morning. Printouts of the for are on my desk in the math office if you need one.
  • I also unveiled our SUPER amazing trip shirts and flag! Yay!

A few last items:

  • Our next and LAST morning meeting is coming up this Thursday, 2/16 @ 7:25am in the PA room!
  • Everyone needs to fill out this short emergency contact info form by this Thursday morning. (This is to make sure we have your most up to date contact info.)

February 2nd Update

We’re 32 days from departure! Wow!

We started this morning’s meeting by filling out a meal order form. If you haven’t filled out the form, please do so in the next 48 hours.

We saw great presentations from Annika, Jackson, Alyssa, and Sako. Links to their presentations can be found on the Portal Page.

We chatted about the packing meeting which is coming up on Sunday, February 12th at 6pm in the Dodge Room in Reed. The meeting will last about and hours and parents, friends, and family are welcome to attend! It’s going to be fun. Everyone must show up fully packed as if we were going to leave for the trip right then and there! Note: I did check to see if the meeting could be moved to earlier in the day, but unfortunately it’s not possible due to other mandatory school commitments several students have that day.

If you need to get a dive book, or are looking for a cool one, here are two options: Option 1, Option 2

See y’all on the 12th at 6pm n the Dodge Room!
