Field Trip Information

Our field trip to the El Paso Zoo is this Friday. The departure time will be based on the busses completing their school routes. More than 12 parents are coming along from our class! Parents can either drive behind the busses, or meet us at the zoo. They pay their own admission at the gate. Parents will be bringing our water and lunch coolers, so the ones with wheels work best. If packing a lunch from home, make it completely disposable. NO lunch boxes or special water bottles please. Everything needs to be labeled. REMEMBER: Have your child wear sunscreen (put on at home) and bring a hat. Lets all try to wear a red shirt so we can identify our class and keep track of our group.
