First Grade Field Trip

First grade is going to the Nature Center March 22nd.  We will leave WOHE at 9:00.  Your kiddo needs to bring a sack lunch from home or get a sack lunch from school. Here are a few things that you can do for us to make our field trip successful:

•Dress your child in their WOHE shirt and tennis shoes.

•Send your child with a coat.

•Pack your child’s lunch in a disposable bag.

•Arrive at school on time.

Let me know if you want to come, enjoy the fun, and be a chaperone!
