Parents:

A reminder that our Field Trip to Longwood Gardens Friday, May 15th. We will be leaving the school around 9am. We should arrive at the Gardens around 10:15am. At 12 o’clock we will enjoy a fountain show and then leave to go to a Picnic Grove via the bus, on the premises. We will return for the afternoon and leave the gardens around 4pm. This should put us back to the school around 5pm. PLEASE be at the school by 5:15 to pick up your child.

The weather forecasted for Longwood Gardens, as of today, is 74 degrees, Kennett Square (Lancaster – 76 degrees). There are ‘few’ showers expected. Hopefully we can miss these by saving our “indoor time” in case of a shower. However, this sounds like lovely weather! Please remember students should wear sneakers and comfortable clothing – lots of walking.

Students are encouraged to bring a camera (the gardens are gorgeous!). Students should also wear sunscreen, perhaps bring a hat along, and may bring a disposable water bottle.

Our homeroom moms (in each classroom) are coordinating pretzels and a water bottle for each child, for a snack on the way home. (Thank You!) The parents going with us from our classroom are our homeroom parents... Mrs. Owens, Mrs. Hibshman, Mrs. Reel, Mrs. Beck and myself. All parents will have access to my cell phone number (just for the day :-) and all teachers are provided with Emergency Contact forms for each child and First Aid Kits.

Feel free to check out the Longwood Garden’s webpage at: http://www.longwoodgardens.org/ If you are interested in sharing some background information with your child, send me an e-mail and I’ll send you a document I typed up, it is really a neat place! (Tree houses, Children’s Garden, Cacti, Banana Trees, Venus Fly Trap, Bonsai Trees, beautiful!)

Please remind your child about respectful and appropriate behavior – to listen to their chaperone at all times. We will be representing Brecknock! It will be a great day, I am sure your child will have lots of stories when the day is over.

Sincerely, Mrs. Libell
