Old Salem Field Trip
We are pleased to announce the details for our field trip to Old Salem on Tuesday, May 5th! We will leave the school around 8 am in the morning and return between 5 and 6pm that evening.
We are coordinating this trip through Mann Travel and will be using charter buses to transport the kids. They have created a great itinerary for getting us there and back. We will be taking the Self-Guided Historic Town Tour. The self-guided tour provides students the opportunity to interact with our costumed interpretive staff while touring the historic district. CMS policy requires us to have a 1:8 ratio for a walking field trip. We are hoping for at least a 1:5 ratio, which will require 5 chaperones for each classroom.
We will be able to take 5 chaperones for each classroom on the buses with us to Old Salem. However, Mrs. Newsome has approved allowing additional parents to drive separately and/or carpool and meet us there. Her only requirement is that all children will ride the buses to and from Old Salem.
Cost Students = $30 Adults Riding the Bus = $40
Adults Driving Separately = $20 (This is the amount of an adult ticket at Old Salem. You will simply purchase this upon arrival or you can also buy online at

We know that this will be a trip that everyone wants to participate in! We are excited that we won’t have to limit the number of parents that can come along! We will have a raffle drawing for the 5 chaperone slots on each bus. If your name is not pulled for the raffle, you are still welcome to attend but will need to drive separately. Please indicate below your chaperone interests.
We will be collecting money on the first Fridays of the February, March and April. That will give you plenty of time to pay in installments if that’s easier. However, all monies must be paid in full by Friday, April 3rd.
1st Collection Day – Friday, February 6th
2nd Collection Day – Friday, March 6th
Last Collection Day – Friday, April 3rd
