• We are going to the Capitol on Friday!  Make sure to pack a disposable lunch, as we will be eating on our field trip.  Students do not need any money...there is no gift shop.  Chaperones may follow the bus or meet us at the capitol.  Maps will be coming home today.  If you plan to follow the bus, please make sure to be at school by 9:40 am.  Each class will tour as a whole group in a quiet line.  Please remind your child this is a government building and we are expected to tour quietly, as business is taking place.  We are sorry that all chaperones from the first planned trip could not go this time.  We had to decrease number of chaperones due to rescheduling.  Remember the Capitol building is open to the public and you can take your children any time!  We are working on a spring field trip that will provide more chaperone opportunities. :)
