[BHS etree] MISC: Please help cover the cost of the Sacramento field trip

[bhs at idiom.com]

For any questions please contact teacher Kimberley D'Adamo at
<mailto:kdadamo at berkeley.k12.ca.us> . 
  
Please help if you can - a number of teachers are taking a large group
of students to Sacramento on Thursday, May 15th.  Berkeley High is
sending 10 busloads of students in total to see the capitol, talk with
representatives, and protest the proposed education budget cuts. 

Support is needed to cover the costs of this field trip - in fact
contributions to date are $4,500 short of the cost.  The trip will
take place on Thursday, but contributions can be made after the fact
to retire the debt.  The Berkeley Public Education Fund is fronting
the cost, but needs to be reimbursed.  Just like all field trips,
students have been asked to cover their own costs, but not all
students can contribute, and none who want to attend are excluded. 
  
If you can make a contribution - however small or large, please write
a check payable to the Berkeley Public Education Fund (BPEF), with the
notation May 15 - Sacramento.  You can either have your child give the
check to Ms. D'Adamo, or mail it to 
  
Berkeley Public Education Fund 
1835 Allston Way 
Berkeley, CA  94703 
  
You can contact the BPEF at BPEF at berkeley.k12.ca.us .
