AN INVITATION FROM THE WAHLBERGS

We have decided that will watch The Bridge Over the River Kwai on Wednesday, June 5th. We're thinking that anyone who might like to come and view it with us are welcome -- students, parents, and you two. Everyone going on the trip who hasn't seen it or haven't seen it in a while are welcome. Also, Stephen can give a "brief" history back-drop to movie.

We're thinking that we would have some pizza at 6:00 and begin the movie at 6:30.

We'd love for you to extend this invitation for us to the group.
Thanks!!

Here is our Address, etc.

Judye & Stephen Wahlberg
6331 S. Newport Ct.
Centennial, CO 80111

RSVP to Judye at 720-560-8890 (Cell)

ATM cards

Just realized I forgot to mention a key item:
If you are planning to use an ATM card  
MAKE SURE YOU CALL AND NOTIFY THE BANK THAT YOU WILL BE TRAVELING TO THAILAND, CAMBODIA AND MALAYSIA OTHERWISE THEY WILL SUSPECT IT AS FRAUD AND DEACTIVATE THE CARD.

Parent meeting

Thank you all for your time and energy this evening.  It is a busy and hectic time for everyone: finals, end of the year, ceremonies and of course preparing for the trip.  Just wanted to reiterate that much of what I packed, and is on the "packing list",  isn't essential.  My theory is:  If it is an item that will make your child feel safer and more comfortable (not "wanted" comfortable but secure/prepared comfortable) then your child is the best filter when purchasing items.  Ms. Hall and I will be bringing extra of everything so pack light.  You do not need to buy brand new "everything" even though the students have, most likely, already found this opening to get some brand new, cool stuff.  Start with the necessities, the smaller stuff.  Clothing, new gear and other larger items are less important as they can use what they have and/or buy items much cheaper there.

Also: to follow up on a question asked this evening:
Hit the Army Surplus Store first.  They have 80% of the items and gear at a very low price. 
Also: as mentioned by several parents,  check out/compare with REI as they are apparently having a large sale this weekend.

Finally, make sure I get your homework done by next Thursday:
1.) All relevant forms:  the medical form is only if you want us to hold/distribute meds.
2.) Bring a neck wallet to Thursday's meeting at 3:15
3.) Memorize your passport number
4.) Sit down and go over a budget, smart purchasing and advocacy/communication.
