Hill Aerospace Museum Field Trip and Patriotic Performances
Hill Aerospace Museum Field Trip:
Our final field trip is Friday, May 18th from 8:45am-1:00pm to the Hill Aerospace Museum. Please have your student wear their white or blue uniform shirt for this field trip. They will need to bring a sack lunch from home as no school lunch will be available and it needs to be completely disposable- Unless you were pre-arranged as a school sack lunch by last Friday on the Google Form (If you were pre-arranged then your student will be provided the school sack lunch made by the lunch staff if that is the case). We will be leaving the school promptly at 9am and returning to the school by 1:00pm. If you are able to chaperone the field trip please email Mrs. Nelson asap to get on the list-and if you signed up at the beginning of the year to chaperone this field please also email Mrs. Nelson. We have our field trip groups arranged but still need a few volunteers to assist with our groups. Please email Mrs. Nelson if you can help or plan on attending the field trip.
