Field Trip
We are so excited to take our first field trip to the Children’s Museum of Phoenix on Thursday, April 11th.!!! The fee to go on the field trip is $20 and can be paid on Infinite Campus. This fee covers entrance into the museum and transportation by bus. The buses will be departing the school at 9:30 a.m. and returning around 1:30 p.m. Our class will be allowed to take 6 chaperones per museum rules. There were more than 6 parents that were interested in going on the field trip, so this past Wednesday, April 3rd a random drawing was held with the students present in the classroom. Each parent that wanted to chaperone was notified by email if there name was drawn to go or if it was not drawn to chaperone on the field trip. Chaperones will need to be at the school by 9:15 a.m.
Remember that on the day of the field trip your child should wear comfortable clothing and walking shoes. If they haven’t ordered a sack lunch through the school, your child will need to bring a sack lunch from home that can be thrown away when done eating it (no lunchboxes, ice packs or reusable bottles). Make sure that your child’s first and last name are on their lunch sack.
Have your child wear a Rice Elementary School t-shirt or a green shirt on the day of the field trip if they have one.
