CAMPING TRIP FINAL DETAILS
September 30, 2015
Dear House B Families,
Our camping trip has finally arrived! Here are a few final items we thought were needed:
DROP OFF AND PICK UP
If you will be driving to school to drop off and pick up camping equipment and supplies, please come to the horseshoe off Herrick Ave near the middle school entrance. We will be loading the buses and chaperone cars between 7:15AM and 8:30AM. Students will be back at school by around 1:30PM on Friday in time to help unload, return, and store equipment and be dismissed at 2:30PM on Friday.
WEATHER AND CLOTHING
The weather looks good for our trip -- no rain and maybe some sun, but it will be chilly. Highs will be in the high 50s maybe 60 degrees and lows at night will be down to about 40 degrees. Make sure your child has a warm hat, gloves, coat, layers, and proper footwear.
