Field Trip to World Forestry Center this Thursday, October 22

All of the first and second grade classes are going on our first field trip this year to the World Forestry Center on Thursday.  We will be leaving at 9:00 am to catch the MAX.  The World Forestry Center is near the zoo.  We will be at the Forestry Center from 10:00 am to about 11:30 am.  We will then eat our sack lunches and then go on a hike outside.  After the hike we will ride the MAX back to school, returning somewhere between 1:00 and 2:00 pm.  Afternoon pick-up is at the regular time of 3:15.

To help make this a successful trip:
*  Send your child with a sack lunch that they will not need to bring home (lunch boxes become difficult to keep track of and to carry)
*  Make sure that you have filled out all of the forms from the beginning of the year home visit packets, especially the field trip permission form and that you have paid your activity fee.  If you have questions about this see me (Brian).
*  Have your child wear appropriate clothing for doing a hike outside.  We will do this unless it is raining hard.
*  If you are joining us on this trip bring a backpack so that you can help carry some of the kid's things.
*  Have your child at school by 8:45 am, so that they can be part of the expectations for the day and that we can all leave at 9:00 am.

I am looking forward to our adventure this Thursday.  If you have any questions please ask me (Brian)?
