Zoo Field Trip this Wednesday!

Reminders for the field trip:

* Wear Yellow 2nd Grade T-shirts.

* If you checked that you are bringing a lunch from home, please put the paper sack in a freezer bag so it won't matter if it gets wet in the cooler. Also make sure your name is on the freezer bag. Don't bring lunch boxes or anything that can't be thrown away when we are done eating. Don't forget a drink if you are bringing your lunch from home.

* We need 2 large blankets that we can spread out to picnic on at the zoo. Please let me know if you can help us out with this.

* We need one more cooler. Also, please let me know if you are able to provide 18 waters for the kids to cool off with while we're there. Thank you!

* The buses are scheduled to leave the school at 9:00. If you are going, you may follow the bus or you may meet us at the entrance to the zoo.

* You may want to put some sun screen on your child that morning if they tend to burn easily.

Please email me with any other questions you may have.

Please don't forget about the $5.00 for a Mother's Day surprise.
