Back to School Party w Field Trips R Us @ Spring Valley Beach


PLEASE read in full before emailing me.

This is an expensive trip, BUT it looks like so much fun! The only group stipulation was that we purchase our tickets a week in advance, no group tickets will be available for purchase the day of our attendance.

Twenty folks constitutes a group. Here's how it works (it is by height AND/OR age). If you are age 3 or younger, or under 4 feet tall, your admission cost at a group rate is $18 per person. If you are over 4 Ft tall, then you are considered adult price, which for a group is $23 per person. Let me know your thoughts, and I will take them into consideration, on where to go from here regarding this trip. The next available discount would be 50 people minimum, and would shave $1 off each division, taking the prices down to $17, and $22 per head. Also, our tickets must be ordered a week in advance. Let me hear from you. ~admin

WHO: Anyone, as event has been updated to a Saturday per everyone's request that friends and family can attend

DUE DATE: THURS AUG 13, NO exceptions! I have to order the tix the very next day.

REFUNDS: WILL BE GIVEN ONLY IF EVENT IS CANCELED

RAIN: Will check on this later this week., how the park handles this

HOW TO SIGN UP: PLEASE NOTE THAT OUR BLOG WILL BE UPDATED TONIGHT TO INCLUDE PAYPAL'S ENFORCEMENT OF THE 3% GOODS AND SERVICES FEE. WE CAN NO LONGER UTILIZE THE FREE FRIENDS AND FAMILY OPTION, OR OUR FTRU PAYPAL ACCOUNT WILL BE SUSPENDED. PAYPAL ADDRESS is clarissahomeschool@gmail.com

Nutcracker 2015 ~ Presented by Alabama Dance Academy (Oak Mountain High School)


We found this event in 2009, offered as a field trip because of the student discount, and loved it so much, we actually changed dance studios to be a part of the skill level here! Field Trips R Us participants, will be able to get their tickets at just $8 a head, that's better than the cast member discount! Great show, great price! I honestly feel that this is the best Nutcracker in Birmingham! 

WHO: Open to all homeschoolers!
WHAT: The Holiday classic ballet, "The Nutcracker"
WHEN: Saturday Dec 12th 2pm performance only
WHERE: Oak Mountain High School Performing Arts Auditorium in Pelham
DEADLINE: FRIDAY 11/20
HOW TO SIGN UP: Paypal your ticket total, via GOODS AND SERVICES ONLY, adding 3% of your total AND 30 cents. FTRU makes no profits on your transactions. These are all paypal fees we begin getting hit with during the summer since we use paypal so much. You will send this to clarissahomeschool@gmail.com for the paypal address. THEN you send me an EMAIL to the same address letting me know that you sent us money. I will email you back that your reservation was successful. I will be on the Disney Field Trips R Us Trip from 11/7-11/15, so give me time to check email when I return. You are welcome to email me more than once if you feel you need to do so!
