Trip Donation Information

Crittenden asks families that can afford to make a contribution toward the 8th grade trip to Yosemite. The suggested amount is $1,300.00, to cover the cost of sending a student to Yosemite, but you can contribute another amount that fits your budget. Donations toward the trip fee are not mandatory, and no pupil shall be denied the opportunity to participate in this school trip because his/her family is not able to contribute.
