"I just want to express our gratitude for a wonderful field trip today. Thank you for the opportunity with the "Write Your Own Ticket" contest! Half of my students have never been to Stone Mountain (or Atlanta!). They had a memory that would last a lifetime! If only I could count the times the kids said, "This is the BEST field trip ever!"
