Trip Opportunity
Several of our students have expressed interest in attending a trip to Valley of Fear Haunted Attractions. This email is intended to gauge interest and help families determine whether this opportunity would be appropriate for their child.
Please review the important details below:
Date:
Thursday, October 22, 2026
Students do not have school the following day.
Students would remain at school after dismissal, receive dinner, and be transported to the attraction by school bus.
Dinner:
Dinner will be provided at no cost to families and will be paid for by Wyncote Academy.
Students may bring spending money if they wish to purchase additional food, souvenirs, or other items at the attraction.
Transportation and Pick-Up:
Wyncote Academy will provide transportation to and from the attraction.
Families will be responsible for picking up their child from Wyncote Academy upon return.
Please note: In previous years, students have returned as late as 10:30 PM.
Cost:
The cost is expected to range from $43 to $65 per student, depending on the number of participants.
If we qualify for a group rate (30 students), the cost will be on the lower end of that range.
Please let us know if your child would be interested in participating. Additional details will be provided if there is sufficient interest to move forward with the trip.
Thank you for your continued partnership and support. We look forward to working together to make this a successful school year for all our students.
Warm regards,
Mr. Josh Bornstein
Head of School
Wyncote Academy
