Name: ______________________ Date: ____________

Dear parents and students,

On Thursday, March 12, class 6A is going on a trip to Jerusalem. The bus leaves from the school gate at 7:00 sharp, so please don't be late. We will come back at about 5:30 in the evening.

Students must wear the blue school shirt, so we can find each other in the crowds. Bring breakfast, lunch, two bottles of water and a coat, because Jerusalem can be cold in March. Phones are allowed, but only on the bus and at lunch.

The trip costs 120 shekels. Please pay by March 5. We are sure it will be a day to remember!

Ms. Gabay, class teacher
