Field Trip


Wednesday the 10th we will go to the Norton Simon Museum (http://www.nortonsimon.org/)

We need to be at school by 7:15...I know that is early... our tour is at 11 - we need to leave enough time for travel + traffic. MAKE ARRANGEMENTS WITH YOUR CARPOOLS!

Our tour is at 11 and we are able to walk through the musem for an hour after...

BRING FOOD - your driver may or may not allow you to eat in the car...that is the choice of the driver. We can eat a snack when we get there before the tour and then eat lunch at 1 after the tour/wander through the museum time. THEN head back to school.

The return trip will be faster as we will NOT have morning commute. According to yahoo maps the trip is 2 hours and 10 minutes without traffic/accidents, etc. Remember to thank the drivers who took the time to join us! Without them the field trip could not have happened!

Once again, please do let your teachers and coaches know! Thanks to your parents for driving!
