Once over the North Ogden divide take a LEFT on 3300 East. Drive on 3300 East for a while (less than 2 miles) until you see North Fork Road. Turn LEFT onto North Fork Road. You will be on North Fork Road for about 3 miles. Do NOT turn into the Ben Lomond “Trailhead” (Wait for the Cutler Flats Gate). Among other things, you will pass Lauren Lane, a Middle Gate for Ben Lomond, and a Lamondi Stake Camp. Once you see the Cutler Flats Gate, turn LEFT onto that trail-head. On this road, go about .6 miles, passing a solar panel on your right, etc. You will come to a fork in the road and a sign. Turn LEFT at the little sign. the next sign you come to, turn RIGHT through the red fence we have opened for you.

We are taking our last Field Trip to Holmgren Historic Farm on May 14-15 (Thurs-Fri). It will be an overnight-er. The Permission Slips were passed out today. Please have these returned to Ms Jaime no later than Thursday May 7th if you plan to attend. If you lost one, you can print the Permission Slip, Liability & Consent Forms from the bottom of this post.
This is our last Field trip this school year!
Students will need to bring their own sack lunch for May 14th, a prepared tinfoil dinner for May 14th (we will cook them that evening), and a breakfast that will not require cooking for May 15th. If you want to bring a hiking stove to cook your own breakfast that’s fine. You are also welcome to bring things for smores including the roasting stick! LUNCH WILL BE PROVIDED ON FRIDAY.
We are looking forward to this end of year overnight-er experience! If any parents would like to come help chaperon please email Ms Jaime jboothe@mariamontessoriacademy.org by Friday May 8th.
Parents are responsible for transportation to & from the Farm. We do have a limited number of certified drivers that may be able to help (gas money is appreciated). If you need a ride for your child there will be a blog post about that soon.They fill up fast, so if they are full ask around to see how your friends are getting there or if they have room.
Pictures from the ATC
Ogden Weber Applied Technology Trip
On Wednesday CTE Introduction will be researching programs offered by Ogden Weber Applied Technology College and Davis Applied Technology College in preparation for our arranged tour of the Ogden Weber ATC. The eighth graders attended the Davis ATC last year and have been invited to join the 7th graders this year as we tour the Ogden ATC.
Permission Slips were passed out to the students and were required to be returned Friday, April 17th. Students who failed to return their slips on time will not be able to join the group. Because we find great value in helping students understand their career training options those students staying behind will be required to choose one program from either ATC to research. In lieu of attendance at the ACT they will then take their research to complete a Utah Compose informative essay. This essay will need a minimum of three revisions and a minimum score of 15. Students who don’t complete their essay in the time provided on Friday will be working on it until it is finished, instead of attending field day and other extra-curricular activities.
For those attending click HERE for an itinerary of the field trip: ATC Cover letter
Please direct any questions or concerns about this field trip and/or Utah Compose Assignment to Ms. Emily egoddard@mariamontessoriacademy.org
Thank you for your support,
Ms. Emily
