The fifth grade will be going on a field trip to Green Acres Dairy, on Tuesday, October 15th, from 9:00-12:00. We will be experiencing the farm as well as the corn maze. We are asking for each student to donate $5 to help pay for busses and admission. We are also asking for five parent volunteers per class. The volunteers selected will be notified. Volunteers will also need to pay the $5. Please pay your donation to the front office by October 15th.
Students will still be required to wear their uniforms, but please also dress appropriately for the weather. We will be back to the school prior to lunch. Please do not send any food with your student to eat on the field trip. We are also asking for no siblings to attend. We will need help from our parents to watch and help with the fifth graders. This is your chance to have a great adventure with your student. Please complete the form below.
