I hope you will find the following helpful as you get ready to send your child to MMC in Grand Rapids on Thursday. If you have any more travel questions you can give me a call tomorrow evening.· There is a pool, so students may want to bring their suits.· If your child takes medication he/she will need to hand the medication to the bus captain. Medication must be in an original container that includes dosage information.· Students may want to plan to change clothes after their performance. They may want to put clothes in their hang bags and bring it with them to the DeVoss Hall.· CHAPERONES: You will need to check in on one room at about 10:00 Thursday night to make sure everything is all right. (In most cases it is your child’s room.)Becky Kohanov
