Tomorrow we will visit Humiston Woods. Students are encouraged to wear pants, tennis shoes, and a hat to protect against the sun and ticks. We suggest applying sunscreen and bug spray at home. Please check for ticks when students return from the field trip. If your student did not sign up for a lunch, your child will need to bring a sack lunch.


Dress your Best!
