Dear Parent/Guardian, We are excited to inform you about an upcoming field trip opportunity to discover the beautiful and culturally rich island of Puerto Rico. Our field trip to Puerto Rico aims to provide our students with an immersive educational experience, allowing them to explore the unique history, geography, and culture of this captivating destination. Puerto Rico is a Caribbean island located in the northeastern Caribbean Sea, and it is a United States territory. Renowned for its stunning beaches, tropical rainforests, and vibrant cities, Puerto Rico offers a diverse range of educational opportunities for our students. During our field trip, students will have the chance to learn about Puerto Rico's history through visits to several historical landmarks, including the historic forts of San Juan — Castillo San Felipe del Morro and Castillo de San Cristóbal. They will discover the significance of these fortifications and gain insight into the island's colonial past. In addition to its rich history, Puerto Rico boasts breathtaking natural wonders. Our field trip will take students to El Yunque National Forest, the only tropical rainforest in the United States National Forest System. Here, our students will witness the incredible biodiversity of the forest, explore its trails, and learn about the importance of preserving this unique ecosystem. Furthermore, Puerto Rico's distinctive culture will be showcased through various activities. Students will have the opportunity to participate in traditional music and dance workshops, such as learning to play the Cairo (a Puerto Rican string instrument) or salsa dancing. They will also savor the island's cuisine, as we plan to visit local restaurants where they can taste delicious Puerto Rican specialties like moving and arrow con candles. To ensure a safe and enjoyable field trip experience, we have partnered with a reputable travel agency that specializes in educational trips. The agency will provide knowledgeable guides who will accompany us throughout our journey, ensuring that our students receive the educational and cultural immersion they deserve. We understand that financial considerations may come into play when deciding to participate in this field trip. Therefore, we have organized various fundraising events and will continue to explore opportunities to support families who may need assistance in covering the costs. We firmly believe that every student should have the chance to engage in this educational experience.
