Hello All!
I cannot believe how close we are to the end of April and starting May! I am so glad we are finally getting some warm weather to go along with this springtime.
The biggest reminder for this week is that we have our field trip to Discovery Gateway Children’s Museum and Clark Planetarium this Thursday, the 26th. We will be taking the frontrunner to Salt Lake for this field trip. I have a certain number of wrist bands for the train for chaperones and these will be given to those who let me know first that they will be coming with us. This will not include any siblings you may be bringing but just for the parent. I have already heard from a few of you that you are going. If you plan on attending with us, even if you do not want to chaperone other children, PLEASE let me know so I can plan accordingly. If you have to pay for your own ticket on the front runner, the cost is $5.50. I am not sure if this is one way or round trip. I will let you know in a reply email if I have a wristband for you. Getting into the planetarium and museum will be free. If sibling come, they will be an additional $4 at the museum.
The train we will be taking will leave at 8:37 a.m. Please be at the frontrunner station on Wall Ave. no later than 8:10 a.m. I know this seems early but some people will need time to buy tickets and we need to make sure we are all there and with the right chaperones. PLEASE be on time. We do not want anyone to have to be running for the train. If your child will need a ride to or from the station, please let me know by Tuesday morning and I can put you in touch with someone who can help you. The train we will be riding back to Wall station in Ogden will arrive at 2:24 p.m. Please arrange to have your child picked up then. I would suggest sending your child with a jacket as it is usually pretty cold waiting for the train in the morning.
The food court at the Gateway is under construction and will not be available to get food for lunch. Please make sure your child has a sack lunch and a water bottle for lunch. We have found from past experience that just a small juice box or something like a Capri-sun still leaves children thirsty. We will be eating lunch at the plaza by the fountain or at one of the many small seating areas around the Gateway. Please let me know if you have any questions about he upcoming field trip.
Thank you!
