Travel
Club
For the past few years, Whittier Community middle school and high
school have gone on field trips for educational purposes. this year,the
teachers in Whittier Community School have come up with an new idea called
the Tavel Club. It makes going on these educational trips a school
thing, involving older students and younger students to be working together.
There are 17 students involved in this years Travel Club. We have
been learning about the Pacific Region and Hawaii, we have also been fundraising
to take a trip to Hawaii, to get hands on experience with the things we
learned in school.
This is a great way for us to learn about science, history, and culture
while using reading, writing, math, and technology. Learning these
things help us move through the level on our report card.

Proposal
This
is the first year that the Whittier Community School has started the travel
club, to set a great path and example for the years to come, we have decided
to go to a small island, an island in the middle of the Pacific Ocean,
an island that is both geographically and culturally interesting, the island
of Hawaii.
During this trip, we plan to visit Cultural Centers, Historical Sites,
National Parks, Universities of Hawaii, and a famous astronomy observatory.
Some of the famous places that we'll be going include Pearl Harbor, W.M.
Keck Observatory, and Waikiki Beach.
Besides the fact that we'll
be having a great time in Hawaii, the trip will also be an extremely educational
experience for the students. Some activities that we'll be doing
to prepare for the trip are writing letters (such as the one you're reading
now), researching activities, budgeting money, and travel club meetings
every Tuesday afternoon. These activities will help us learn and
improve our writing skills, technology skills, math skills, and social
skills.
When we get on Hawaii,
we'll also learn cultural studies, astronomy, history, and science (visiting
the volcanoes). When we get back from Hawaii, we'll put together
a multimedia project (imovie, another webpage, or a power point presentation),
and the Travel Club will present the project to both our school district,
and the Whittier City Council.
We have a budget for the
amount of money we need (see "EXPENSES"), some possible activities (see
"ACTIVITIES"), and our plans while we're in Hawaii (see "TRIP ITINERARY").
So please give us the permission to go to Hawaii this year.
Thank you for taking the
time to look over our proposal plan, we hope to see your response to this
proposal in the near future.
Sincerely,
Whittier Communnity School
