Dear 6th Grade Parent/Guardian,
A special 6th Grade Citizenship Trip has been planned to celebrate students that have maintained at least Satisfactory
Citizenship throughout the school year. On Thursday, May 15th, these students are invited to join their classmates on an
excursion to Adventureland which is in Farmingdale, New York.
Our students will depart Totten at 8:30 a.m. (SHARP), and return to school at approximately 4 p.m. Parents must make
arrangements to pick up their child at Totten at 4 p.m. sharp. There will be no adult supervision after this time. The cost
of the trip is $75 and payment can be made in the form of cash or money order. No personal checks will be
accepted. Included in the price is round-trip transportation via deluxe, lavatory and video equipped 45 passenger
motorcoaches; unlimited and exclusive use of the rides and attractions; lunch (choice of hotdog, hamburger or
cheeseburger and fries and soda) and a customized Adventureland trip t-shirt. Students will be required to wear their
Adventureland T-shirt the day of the trip. The T-Shirt will help to distinguish our students and teachers from the other
people attending the park that day. Even though the park will be closed to other schools, there may be some people that
enter the kiddie portion of the park after noon.
If you would like your child to attend this trip, please complete the tear off below with your child, fill out the emergency
contact information and both you and your child must sign where indicated. Please place your payment (cash or money
order only) along with the permission slip below in a sealed envelope. Clearly label the envelope with your child’s name,
homeroom and “Adventureland” on the outside of the envelope. The envelopes will be collected during their lunch
period and given to Ms. Stancavage and Mr. Curreri only. We would like to invite parents to join us as chaperones on
this trip. If you would like to chaperone please fill out the additional information at the bottom of the permission slip. The
cost for chaperones is $75.
The deadline for payment is Tuesday April 29, 2014. If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact me at
(718) 477-4500 ext. 3352. Please note that is the discretion of the parent or guardian to review the content of this activity
prior to the class trip and to deem it appropriate for the individual child. Adventureland’s official website is
