Universal Studios/2 Nights (Beach Visit, Roller Coasters, 4D Rides)
8th Grade Celebration Trip
Every year the 8th grade students at Franklin School get to choose a trip to celebrate the end of the elementary years. We provide a list of options, present the information to parents and students, and then allow students to choose where they would like to go. Although the school will put in money to help fund the trip, the cost is more than the school can cover so the students participate in fundraising activities. The list of trip choices is below and fundraising activities are on the next page.
