Good Morning, Ms. Cheryl, I am SO SORRY - no 650 kids showing up, 😊. I'll say I am new to organizing things. I should have clarified this much better for you! We divide kids into Elementary K-5 (199 kids), Middle 6-8 (154 kids), and High School 9-12 (300 kids). We usually open field trips to about 30 students. The AVO field trips would be for older kids, so I'll use high school as my example. I would say advertise sign-ups capping at 30 - or what you deem to fit your agency. For elementary and middle school students, we ask parents to tag along with their students. Frontier will send two chaperones (teachers/staff). Since we are a home school, everyone shows up in their car, not a school bus. I am thinking of a February or March time frame. We run into standardized testing in April, and May is the year's end. We can do something next year if that also works for you. I hope we can work together on getting something. I am a volcano buff (subscribe to your website, etc.), so selfishly, I would love to learn more. It is a fascinating topic; I am sure student sign-ups will fill quickly.

Hi Margie, Thank you for writing. Are you thinking of all 650 students visiting AVO? I think we could not accommodate so many. Please let me know how many students and what your anticipated date range would be and we will see if we can arrange this. If a tour of AVO is not practical, we may be able to send someone to your school for a presentation there. Thank you, Cheryl cheryl.cameron@alaska.gov Good Morning, I am a coordinator of events for Frontier Charter School. We are a K-12 school with the Anchorage School District. Frontier is a home school with approximately 650 students. Do the AVO offer field trips at your facility? This is a fascinating study area, and I believe our students (the older ones) would be interested to learn more. Any suggestions or thoughts would be welcome!
