Place your vote for where you want to go in March for a 4-day trip by clicking on one of the choices below. As you know, there was a tie between the Senior proposal and the Sophomore proposal. The two proposed trips are below. The Senior proposal has been edited because the Silverwood Amusement Park will not be open when we plan to take the trip. There is the possibility of going to the Big Cat Zoo in Spokane instead. Also, there will be no swimming at Hells Gate State Park because it will be too cold. The seniors also looked at adding a couple of more stops and changing the route so we could see different country. The schedule will have to be rearranged, but they didn't have time.

What kind of trip would you like to go on this year?
One or more big trips, 3-4 days long including weekends 10 Several shorter trips, no weekends 2 Several day trips, no overnighters 0 No trips at all 0 Who do you want to instruct you on your curriculum pieces? People from where we are going 5 Experts brought in to meet us there 0 Our own WC teachers 3 Our own student groups 4 Suggestions/Other Ideas: "The Junior class has suggested that we go to the salmon river mountains in Idaho. White water rafting (which we suggested doing last year) and beautiful hikes (such as the highly enjoyed past hikes) are offered as well." "I also think maybe one overnight stay somewhere because it takes time to get to some places. Also not everything can be in one day at a place if they have certain closing times" Student council plus class reps: Need to have reasonable OFT trip ideas with skeleton outlines and costs for each activity ready for the meeting after school
