Sixth grade trip to Sargent Camp
	Dear Sixth Grade Families, The sixth grade team is excited to get to know the Class of 2014. One way we will deepen relationships and further develop a class identity will be to spend three days together at Sargent Camp in Hancock, New Hampshire, from October 12 through October 14. You can visit the Sargent Camp website for more information: http://www.naturesclassroom.org/sargent/ Sargent Camp is a fully accredited outdoor education program run by Nature’s Classroom. Additionally, Greg Carson, Cynthia Spence, Angela Flynn, Bob McAdam and Susan Hodgin will chaperone this trip. We will hold an optional meeting to answer any questions you have on Monday, October 3, 2011 at 8:30am. Please download the Sargent Center Health Information and Consent Form. This form must be completed and returned to your child’s advisor no later than Monday, October 3, 2011. This Sargent Camp form asks for a physician’s signature; this is not necessary, as we also send them the Gordon School Medical Permissions release form. However, if there are medications that your child will need to bring (prescription or over-the-counter) that you did not list on your child’s Gordon School Medical Permissions release form, you need to have this form completed by your child’s physician. This form (if there are changes) and any medication (in original containers) must be turned in to the school nurse by Tuesday, October 11, 2011. Your child is not allowed to bring food of any kind or electronic devices such as iPods or cell phones. We encourage children to bring a camera. Please review the list of items/clothing your child should bring. Do not over pack, as your child is responsible for carrying his or her own gear. Also, please note that rain gear is essential, as our schedule does not change based upon inclement weather. The bus will leave Gordon at 7:45am on Wednesday, October 12. Please have your child arrive at school no later than 7:30am. We are scheduled to return to Gordon by 2:00pm on Friday, October 14. We look forward to an exciting trip! Please feel free to contact your child’s advisor if you have any questions. Sincerely, The Sixth Grade Team
