Expenses – Food, Gas, & Museum

• The girls will need to bring money for 2 meals on the road and a little additional money for drinks, snacks, coffee, etc. if they would like.  Meals will be provided for us while we are on campus at St. Mary’s. We will need to buy dinner on Thursday and lunch on Saturday while we are on the road traveling. We will make it a later lunch and make that the only meal on the road.
• We are also asking each girl to bring $25 to contribute toward gas. This can be turned in to the secretary or Mrs. Pfeiffer (preferably before the day of the trip).
• Admission to the Oz Museum is $8 per student. This is a discounted group rate that the girls will be responsible for as well.

Other things to bring 

• The girls will be able to travel in their PE uniforms. While in St. Mary’s they will be wearing their school uniforms for Mass and for some of the activities on Friday, but they should bring their PE shoes to change into that day. (There is a chance they may need to change into their PE uniforms at some point, also.)
• The girls will be staying in the dorms. They will need to bring a sleeping bag, pillow, towel, washcloth, shampoo, etc., and any other necessary toiletries.
• Please, do not send your child with a cell phone. All necessary communication can be done through the chaperones.
