Federal Reserve Bank:  BHS FBLA chapter will be going on Tuesday, April 15, 2008 to the New York Federal Reserve Bank, Financial Museum, and South Street Seaport in lower Manhattan, NY.  The trip will be from 6:45 a.m. and the students will return approximately 4:00 p.m.

The trip costs 30 dollars (cash or check payable to FBLA-Bloomfield High School).  The cost covers the bus fee.  Students must bring money for lunch (est. 10 to 20 dollars) because we will be eating in the food court of South Street Seaport.

You must bring your School ID with your picture on it.  Temporary IDs will not be accepted.  If you do not have your School ID with your picture on it with you on the day of the trip, you will not be allowed to go on the trip and your money will not be refunded, no matter what!  The bank requires that all students have their school ID with picture on them at all times. 

You are not allowed to bring backpacks, drinks, food, or liquids with you in the bank, so these items should not be brought on the trip because they cannot be left on the bus!  If these items are brought with you on the trip, they will be thrown in the garbage.

We are going to a bank so you must dress appropriately.  You cannot wear tank tops, no stapless shirts, skirts and shorts must be two inches past your fingertips, no flip flops, and no shirts with improper messages.  (Jeans and sneakers are ok)  Basically, just follow school dress code.

Students must be 16 years old by the day of the field trip.
