The K-6 students are
looking forward to a field trip to Hickory Hill Park the morning
of Wednesday, May 10, 2017. We
will be working with friends of Hickory Hill to help remove
invasive garlic mustard from the park. Students will also enjoy some fun outdoor
games and a picnic lunch at the park with their partner families.
We
will need parent volunteers to drive us there and we would love parents who are
available to stay and help us identify and pick garlic mustard. If
you can help by driving students but aren't able to stay for the trip, we would
appreciate that as well. We will leave school at 8:45 and
return at 12:30. Please use this spreadsheet to volunteer as
a driver or chaperone.
Each child will need
to dress appropriately for the unpredictable Iowa weather. Wearing layers allows us to adjust as the day progresses and
comfortable hiking shoes are essential. Long pants and long sleeves
are helpful to protect skin from plants. We may be muddy, so please plan
accordingly. Students will also need a snack, a water bottle and a big lunch
in order to have energy for the day. Any extra items in backpacks will only be
extra weight for them to carry, so please consider reorganizing backpacks in
preparation for this day.
