Hi Parents,
I hope that you are having a fine Spring Vacation week. I have been asked several questions
about the farm trip and I thought I would pass along my responses:
1. Q.: Do the students need slippers or indoor shoes?
A: Yes
2. Q: Should I pack any medicines, including over-the-counter headache medicine?
A: All medicines that the student might use on the trip need to have an (8 and 1/2 x 11 ") note
given to the teacher so that it might be given (please include any instructions).
3. Q: How are the student travelling up to NH?
A: They will travel in the car/van of either Mr.O'Donnell, Mr. Nesto, or Mrs. Wittmer
4. Q: What time on Monday (5/6) will they leave? Return?
A: We are aiming to leave between 7:15 and 7:30 on Monday morning. Friday's return will be
sent via a cell phone call to one parent who will start a phone tree (volunteer to head this?).
5. Q: What kinds of hats are permitted as a sun hat?
A: All brimmed hats, with school-appropriate imagery (sports teams - ok) are fine to bring
6. Q: Are the showers private?
A: Yes, but the chaperones will have timers to limit each "shower trip" to 5 minutes; this will
ensure that we all get to where we're going on time. You may want to practice a fast shower
prior to the trip, dependent on your child's disposition.
7. Q: Would you like parents to provide night lights?
A: Yes, please send them in a bag marked with your family's name so that they might be returned.
I'm looking forward to a great week. Thank you for sending your wonderful student on this fun and enriching trip.
Best regards, Michael (on behalf of the chaperones)
