Greetings! We are excited that you are going to be a part of the spring trip to Disney World in 2009. Plans are well under way to make this a memorable experience. We are touring with Keynote Arts Associates, 1215 E. Amelia Street, Orlando, Florida, 407-897-8181. www.keynotearts.com. They have been running tours, music festivals, and competitions since the mid-80Õs and have a great reputation for their attention to details. I have complete confidence in their programs. Below are the trip inclusions. If you have more specific questions please feel free to email or call. Your trip includes the following:

We have more information about the deposits that must be made to the travel agency for Disney and the airlines. Your down payment, paid in April, secured the hotel space at Disney World. We will need another $100 payment by the end of the school year to secure the airline flights. We will know the final cost for the trip as soon as the flight expense is known.

The travel agency has given us this time line:

June 16, 2008 $100
September 19, 2008 $200
January 9, 2009 $200
February 27, 2009 Remaining Balance Due

You can choose the agency’s time line for payment or you can budget a $100 per month payment. During the summer, mail your payments to the high school to my attention. I will check mail at the end of each month during the summer and apply your payments to your child’s account.

The music department offers fundraising opportunities throughout the school year. I will send you an invoice in December detailing monies earned and payments made.
