Blackberry Farm Field Trip
On Wednesday, May 22, all first grade classrooms
will be going on a field trip to Blackberry Farm in Aurora. Please make sure your child has a jacket in
case it rains or if it is chilly outside.
We will be leaving shortly after 9:00
and will return around 2:15. Since we
will be eating there, please pack a disposable sack lunch for that day. Hot lunches will not be available. Make sure you put your child’s name on the
outside of the paper lunch bag.
The children will stay at school
throughout the end of the day & will ride the bus home or be picked up as
usual.
If you are chaperoning this trip,
please be at school by 8:50 and bring a small tote bag in order to carry your
group’s lunches. You may want to bring
an umbrella if it is rainy that day since we will be walking around quite a
bit.
