Buxton School - Williamstown, Massachusetts

Dear Buxton Families,

Greetings from the (very) snowy Berkshires!

I wanted to give everybody an update on the upcoming All-School Trip.

• We will be going to El Paso, Texas.

• We will be flying out of Newark and LaGuardia airports on Saturday, March 5^th.

• We will be flying in faculty-supervised groups on several airplanes. We will send you details about which flight your child is on (and which traveling “pod” he or she is in) soon.

• We will be in El Paso for a little over a week, returning to Williamstown on Monday, March 14^th.

• We will be staying at the Holiday Inn Express in central El Paso: 409 Missouri Ave., El Paso, TX 79901; (915) 544-3333.

• The school will be taking day trips to White Sands National Park and Carlsbad Caverns. Some groups may also be traveling to the artist community in Marfa, Texas.

• Under no circumstances will the students be crossing the border into Mexico!

Day student families: During pre-trip week, there are no classes; trip groups meet during the day, making appointments and plans, and the various performing groups rehearse throughout the week. But each day begins with an all-school meeting, and your child should be here in time for that. I’ll let you know the meeting time as we get closer to the week.

We’re excited—and so are the students. I’ll be sending you more details in the coming days.

Best,

Franny
