Holocaust Museum Houston: Extra Credit AssignmentOver the Winter Break you will have the opportunity to visit Holocaust Museum Houston to receive extra credit for your grade in my class. This is an awesome experience to receive additional points as well as experience the importance of this crucial moment in human history.
This is not a required event nor is this considered a field trip or school sponsored event. You will need parent or guardian permission before attending the museum. You will need to provide your own transportation to the museum. Even though this is not an official school trip, remember you are still representing Waltrip H.S., and you will need to be on your best behavior. If you will like to see familiar face, I will be at the Museum Monday and Tuesday, December 21st and 22nd between 1:00 and 12:00 If you plan on attending on one of those day's,It will be extremely helpful for me if you RSVP for one of those so I can know how many people will be there |
