The cost for this program remains the same ( $120. per week, per child and $100. for each additional child in a family). The only additional charge will be the cost of admission, transportation and meals for the trips. We will make every effort to keep costs to a minimum. Many museums are free for children and we will negotiate group rates wherever possible. Depending on the number of children participating, we may use public transportation and/or commuter boat with appropriate supervision.
REGISTRATION – Please include your check for $50 per child non-refundable deposit with this form. Return it to school with your child or mail to Joan Cahalane at Holy Family School, 6 Del Prete Avenue, Rockland, MA 02370. We would like to have our numbers complete by May 1 so that we may finalize plans for the field trips.
