Field Trip Information - February 15th!
Field Trip Information - February 15th!
This year we will be going to Interskate Roller Rink in Lewisville (off 121). The field trip will be on February 15th. Our fabulous PTA is covering the cost of the field trip, but cost for transportation is still required. Each student will have to pay $4 to cover their portion of the cost for the buses. Please try to send exact change if sending cash.
Permission slips have already been sent home, if you need another copy, please let your teacher know. Permission slips will include this information and directions on how to provide payment in the form of cash or check. If providing a check, please make it payable to Prestwick Elementary.
We are looking forward to this STEM experience. During their event, students will learn about the engineering that goes into roller skates. They will also have the opportunity to enjoy roller skating. They will also be provided lunch! That means there will be no need for a sack lunch unless your child does not want/is not able to eat cheese pizza. Each child will be served two slices of pizza.
Please let us know if you have any questions!
