Field Trip Update

We have changed our field trip date to Friday, March 6.  We still plan to leave at 8:10 and return before the end of the school day.  The following parents previously signed up to chaperone.  If you signed up and are not able to come on March 6, please let your child’s teacher know.

Remember:

All children must have their outdoor weather clothes with them (coat, snowpants, boots, hat, mittens) to go on this trip!  We would also recommend that your child put an extra pair of socks in his/her pocket.  We will spend the majority of the day outside.  

Also, your child needs to bring a lunch and drink, preferably in a sack so that it can be thrown away when finished.  Please label your child’s lunch.

If your child is going, the $5.00 needs to be paid by next Wed, March 4.

As always, this information is also online at mrswimmlersblog.blogspot.com.

Due to the forecasted cold temperatures, the second grade field trip to the Kettunen Center has been delayed.  We are looking to reschedule in March.  I will send information as soon as the arrangements are finalized.
