I was very disappointed to hear that the school had canceled all of its overnight trips.

I am in tenth grade, and I was looking forward to the New York trip.

However, the trip won’t happen because the administration says that our grade is too large. Last year, though, the seventh grade had its overnight trip, Teva, and that grade is about 30 kids larger than the sophomore class. The seventh grade was split into two groups, and the groups went at separate times.

I don’t know why this would not work for the tenth grade. Last year, the ninth grade took an overnight trip to Williamsburg, and the grade has not grown greatly.

The cancelation of the overnight trips was the wrong decision.
