Field Trip #2!

I think fall is really here! It's a bit chilly out!

Our Field Trip #2 is fast approaching! I know the kids are excited about this one! I think the little hay ride this past Friday was just a kick-off to this Friday's excitement!

Please remember to have your child wear their yellow field trip shirts and to dress warm for the cool weather. All activities will be done outdoors, so they will need to be warm while having all of this fun!! Mrs. Harris will be sending out the rules of Owl's Hill sometime this week as she stated in her weekly newsletter on Friday! Please be on the lookout for that and read over them carefully to make sure all rules are followed! Thanks!


Owl's Hill has a web site, if you didn't already know this... It will be listed at the bottom.

But here are the directions from their site for the parents that are planning on attending this week's field trip!
