As was mentioned at the December parent/student meeting, we are estimating the Montreux, Switzerland trip to cost $4000 per person. Since the Sacramento airfare has already been paid, I was able to reduce the Feb. 1oth payment down to $1500. I’ll send you an email with your new trip balance amount which can be applied to the Feb. 10th payment. These dates correspond to the times each monthly dues need to be paid as well. The amounts listed do not include the $120 monthly dues. The amount in parenthesis is for the parent trip to Montreux, so there is no Sacramento cost added.
Feb. 10 – $1500 ($1500)
March 10 – $680 ($625)
April 14 – $680 ($625)
May 12 – $680 ($625)
June 9 – $680 ($625)
BE SURE YOU HAVE A PASSPORT FOR THIS JULY TRIP. APPLY FOR ONE NOW!!!!!
