Dear students and parents, the Grade 7 trip to the Galilee is next month, on Tuesday and Wednesday. The buses will leave the school gate at 7:00 in the morning. We will come back on Wednesday at about 6:00 in the evening.

On the first day, we will walk in a nature reserve with a cool stream, and in the afternoon we will visit the Sea of Galilee. At night, we will sleep at a youth hostel in Tiberias. On the second day, we will climb Mount Arbel and enjoy the view of the lake.

What to bring: a hat, good walking shoes, a warm sweater for the evening, and at least two bottles of water. Please bring food for the first day. The hostel will give us dinner and breakfast.

Rules: Stay with your group at all times. Do not go into the water without a teacher. Mobile phones may be used only in the evening. Please return the signed form to your class teacher by Sunday.
