We are excited to offer this opportunity to our 6th-11th grades students. This trip will be on the last day of school, Wednesday, May 29th. The cost of the trip is $150. This will cover the cost of park admission, an all-day dining pass for food and beverage, transportation via charter bus to and from the park. Permission slips are available at the High School Office. Forms with payment (cash or check made payable to ECS) should be returned to the High School Desk no later than Wednesday, May 1st.
God has done amazing things this school year and we are so thankful that He has blessed us with the opportunity to serve and disciple your young men and women. We look forward to celebrating this exciting time with our students!
