son/daughter is there 45 minutes before the departure)

Please make sure that your son/daughter brings the following:
� id card or passport (plus a copy of it)
� health insurance card
� school pass
� lunch for Thursday
� towels
� medication (if necessary)
� +/- 100 euro pocket money for meals (this is quite generous
because food is not expensive in Berlin)
The program of the trip was set up in cooperation with the students. We shall visit the
“Reichstag”, the Holocaust Memorial, Check point Charlie with its museum and we also
want to get to know a bit of the cultural life of Berlin (theater, cinema) and the new Berlin
architecture. (Tiergarten, Friedrichtstraße..etc.) The exact program will be handed out in
school shortly before we will leave.
If you have any questions please feel free to contact us on the school telephone number
or by e-mail (e.reichenbach @ism.portamosana.nl).
We all are looking forward to a great trip.
Yours faithfully,
Edeltraud Reichenbach
