UPCOMING EVENTS
  • Field Trip tomorrow - Walking Tour of China Town,  Tuesday, March 18. 
  • Puberty Ed. is next week.
Field Trip Details:  We will be walking quite a bit (with many pauses) as this is a walking tour led by a professional tour guide.  During lunch we will have a sampling of Dim Sum, however the students should still bring a lunch and snack with them.  Since they are carrying their lunch, it is best to keep it simple, and relatively compact.  Water bottle is a must!

We will have students plan with a buddy if they want to share a backpack between them for the day.  Please be sure to bring:
  • Good walking shoes
  • Water bottle!
  • Snack & Lunch
  • Jacket
  • Day pack
  • Hat
  • Sunscreen
