My Travel Story

by: Andrea Huffman Start Date: May 9, 2024 - End Date: Jun 7, 2024
My name is Andrea Huffman and I am the lead chaperone and head up the fundraising group for this Waldport Middle School East Coast Trip. This trip has been a tradition for quite some time. History will come alive as our students visit historical sites such as Mount Vernon and the place where the Revolutionary War began. They will visit monuments, museums, battlefields, cemeteries, and statues in cities such as; Boston, Philadelphia, Washington DC, New York City, Baltimore, Jamestown, and Williamsburg. Other activities include a tour of Fenway Park, an MLB baseball game, a Broadway show, a tour of the Yale University Campus, a stroll through Central Park, and more. As a non school sponsored event all funding falls upon the parents. We have been actively fundraising since fall of 2022. The cost per student is $3400 plus approximately $400 spending cash for daily lunches, snacks, some activities, and souvenirs. We currently have 22 students going on the trip, of which 7 students carry a trip balance and at least 15 who have their balance paid in full but are short on spending money. Trip balances must be satisfied by May 25th and spending cash must be raised by June 12th. We've hosted more than 20 fundraisers as a group and many of us have participated in individual fundraising efforts as well. Fundraisers include car washes, bake sales, silent auctions, dinners, bingo parties, tshirt sponsorship, can/bottle drives, See's Candy sales, garage sales, paint parties, and more. We have one more car wash scheduled before we depart. It is our hope that we will be able to fund the last 7 kiddos, then be able to provide spending monies to the 15 students lacking funds. We appreciate you considering us. Thanks for reading!
