Dear Eighth Grade Parents,
The eighth grade trip to La Lucena Environmental Center is scheduled from Tuesday, February 23
to Friday, Feb. 26, 2016. Last year the trip was cut very short because of inclement weather. The
previous fourteen years Lincoln grade 8 students and teachers have enjoyed a very positive
experience at La Lucena . We are looking forward to an outstanding trip and are very pleased to be
working with La Lucena and Mr. Peter Dunn.
The La Lucena Environmental Learning Center is located 64 km north of Cordoba and provides a
variety of educational programs. Eighth grade students will participate in a 4-day Outdoor
Education experience. This experience, designed by La Lucena staff and Lincoln teachers, serves as
an excellent complement to Second Semester Science, Social Studies, and English Programs.
La Lucena was rebuilt after a fire destroyed the camp in September 2013. The La Lucena
Environmental Learning Center has new dormitories, bathroom/shower facilities and dining
hall. Students will sleep in sleeping bags on mattresses in the dormitories. Other facilities at the
camp include a greenhouse and workshop. Three meals a day are prepared in the camp’s kitchen.
The staff at the learning center is bilingual, trained in first aid, and has university degrees. Mr.
Dunn is a graduate in Outdoor Environmental Education from the University of Wisconsin –
Superior. Emergency medical services are 15 minutes away by ambulance in Jesus Maria Medical
Center. A smaller medical center is located in Ascochinga five minutes from the learning
center. Private transportation is always available at the learning center if needed and Cordoba is 50
km (paved road) away.
This trip is part of the eighth grade program of study and is incorporated in the curriculum and
tuition. It is our hope that all students will participate in this program. However, students choosing
not to participate will be provided with enrichment and reinforcement activities at school.
Students and parents will be required to complete the Spanish version of the following documents:
 Permission Slip for Educational Field Trip Form
 Health Form for Educational Field Trip
 Parent Informative Form
Student(s)/Parents are also required to provide a photocopy of the following documents attached to
the forms:
 Medical Card
 DNI or Passport (the one your child will travel with)
These forms are attached to this letter and must be completed by Wednesday, November 4 in order
to comply with the Argentine Educational Ministry policy.
All school rules will apply during this trip. Participation on this trip is a privilege, not a right;
therefore, a student’s behavior and academic standing will be a major consideration for
participation. Chaperones and the Principal will determine if a student will be permitted to
participate.
The MS Parent Coffee scheduled on Wednesday, Nov. 11 from 8:15am to 9:00 am in the Elem./MS
Library will include information about all three second semester trips: Grade 6 Otamendi Nature
Reserve Trip, Grade 7 Delta Trip and Grade 8 La Lucena Trip.
It is our hope that all students participate in this program. If you have any questions please contact
Mr. Voracek ([email protected]) and I would be happy to discuss this trip with you.
Sincerely,
Jeff Voracek
Middle School Principal
