Patterson's Farm
I am so excited about our field trip to Patterson's Farm this Thursday, Oct. 12th, 2017. You are welcome to meet us there for the 9:30 tour. You may wish to arrive a few minutes early to pay.
We have not yet received the field trip class tshirts. Please have your child wear a green shirt this Thursday. If our class is all in the same color it helps with quickly locating each child in case of any emergencies. If we receive the shirts before Thursday I will let you know!
Lunches from home need to be brought in a disposable bag and all items in it need to be disposable as well, please label it with your child's name. Even if you are meeting us there it is helpful for you to send your child's lunch to school with them. (I would hate for a misunderstanding to have a child end up with no lunch). If your child does not have a lunch with them at school I will order one from the cafeteria for them.
