Fort Langley Field Trip Thursday, November 13th
Hello Parents,
Hopefully you read this email before our field trip tomorrow. Just a couple of reminders:
1.) As you already realize, we are having clear, sunny weather this week (and should be tomorrow as well); however, it is also cold. Please have your child wear layers as we will be inside and outside throughout our 2 hour program. I recommend long sleeves and a warm winter coat, as well as boots, a hat/toque, and mittens/gloves.
2.) Students (and parent chaperones) will have lunch provided for them, but not a morning snack. We recommend packing a snack for the morning as there will be no food during our program (we will let them eat their snack at Fort Langley before we start our program).
Thank you to all of the parents who have volunteered to drive and chaperone. Please meet us in our classrooms at the morning bell (8:45). We hope to go over instructions and be ready in driving groups by 9:00.
If you have any questions before tomorrow, feel free to email me.
Sincerely,
David Wu
