Blackberry Farm Field Trip
On Wednesday, June 3, 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.
Students
that read books throughout the school year, at home or in the classroom, will be
receiving their ticket to Six Flags Great America in their report card envelope
on the last day of school. Keep reading
during the summer!
