Change in Michigan Adventure 8th Grade Trip

Dear 8th Grade Parents,

We have held an annual trip to Michigan Adventure for our 8th grade students.  We are, of course, doing so again this year.  Our trip has been planned for June 1, 2012, for months.  Unfortunately, Mother Nature did not get the information in time and we are facing a nasty weather day this Friday. Some students have asked about rain and storm delays at the park.  Here is what is posted on their website, http://www.miadventure.com/faq,:
Michigan's Adventure does not close due to poor weather. On rainy days, some rides may close for safety reasons, and will be re-opened as soon as safely possible. If lightning is overhead, all rides will close until the lightning passes. The park remains open, and the rides will re-open as soon as the lightning has passed and it is safe to do so.
The waterpark does not open on days when the air temperature does not reach 65 degrees within 2 hours of opening. Temperature does not affect the operation of the amusement park.
Our local weather forecasters are calling for a range of temperatures for a high this Friday from 59-62 degrees. Therefore, we are moving the trip to Monday, June 4, where the forecasts are calling for 78 degree weather.  We will depart at the same time and return to Sparta at the same time as planned.  The only change is next Monday versus this Friday.  We communicated this change the students today.  We apologize if this creates any complications for you or your children. 
If you have any questions or need my assistance, please do not hesitate to contact me.
Thank you,

Joel Stoner
