4th Grade Field Trip Information

 4^th grade field trip Friday May 17, 2019

Indian Echo Caverns, Hummelstown

·         Students and chaperones will be boarding the busses as soon as announcements are over.  Students do NOT need to come to school earlier than usual.  Students will also be back in time to go home at the end of the day for regular dismissal.

·         Lunches need to be packed in throw away materials.  The busses will not be nearby, so after lunch, we need to be able to throw everything away.  School lunches will be in brown paper bags marked with the child’s name. 

·         Backpacks are discouraged on the trip for the safety and ease of walking on the Cavern tour.  Teachers and staff may carry them on the tour.  All others may put their backpacks in the pavilion area.  It is a safe environment area, and the Caverns personnel say they haven’t had a problem with this.

·         A good walking sneaker is recommended. 

·         It is always 52 degrees in the Cavern, so layering clothing is recommended.

·         There is a gift shop available if anyone is interested.  Space is limited in the gift shop, but this is not the priority of the trip.

·         Chaperones:  If you have been approved by PTO and have told the homeroom teacher you are interested in going on our field trip, please sign off and return to your child’s homeroom teacher by Monday April 8^th . The cost of the trip is $20 (bus/cavens).  Include your child’s name on the envelope and please make check payable to NSE PTO.  Payment is due by Monday May 6^th.
