SC AQUARIUM UPDATE
From Charlies Cox:
- I’m purchasing our tickets on SEP 27 and turning in the roster, please let me know if you want to attend byFriday morning. So far I have 70 students and 40 adults!
- Please let me know if you are not an active member of CBCCA, as I will need to collect cash for your tickets please
- If you miss the deadline, you can still go on the trip, they won’t guarantee the discounted price however.
- Please be on time, and in line, by noon, Friday, OCT 4, parking is across the street at the parking garage, however, you can drop off at the front and then go park. There is also metered parking on the street if you think you can get lucky!
- Don’t forget to download your grade specific scavenger hunt from the SC Aquarium website, under Homeschooling/Education.
- Clarification on the extra exhibits (Sea Turtles and 4D theatre): I was under the impression that we could individually add these items on, but unfortunately, we need 100% participation for the discounted rate, so if you wanted to do these exhibits, you would have to call and make your own reservations and pay the full price, sorry
-
The contract that I signed for our group indicates that we must adhere to certain rules. Although it was mostly common sense, I wanted to emphasize a few things: #1-This is going to be a large group and we are there representing CBCCA and other homeschoolers #2 – They don’t want any children harassing any of the animals, such as, tapping on the windows of the exhibits, etc. #3 – Please don’t allow the little kids to run around and be noisy #4 – Kids must stay with the Chaperones at all times, thank you
-
Once we are inside, it’s not necessary for us to stay together as a big group. Feel free to go at your own pace, and enjoy the Aquarium, they close at 5 pm

BOX TOP INFORMATION
From Sharon Cox:
In case you didn’t know, CBCCA has 3 ways to earn money for our homeschooling group. The first is Box tops for Education where each Box Top is worth 10 cents. The more that you clip and turn in, the more $$$ we get.
The second is through Project A+ with Tyson Chicken labels. These are worth 24 cents each.
The third way is through Labels for Education, where we don’t earn cash but earn points to purchase things from their catalog.
Please clip and turn them in to the Resource room located in the Children’s building.
Here are the websites so that you can see what products qualify:

You’re probably wondering what this money is used for?? The answer is: field trips (entrance fees for students), physical fitness supplies for the Presidential program, lab equipment and supplies for CBCCA sponsored classes, etc.
