4th Grade Trip to Lansing
February 27, 2013
The fourth grade students of Georgetown Elementary School are looking forward to their field trip to Lansing. We will visit the Capitol Building, Michigan Historical Museum and Impression 5 Science Museum (www.impression5.org). Transportation on charter buses will be provided for students and teachers. Parents will carpool to Lansing.
We will leave school shortly after 9 a.m. and return at 4:45 p.m. Please arrange for your child to be picked up at Georgetown Elementary.
Bring a sack lunch. Please make sure everything is disposable.
There is a charge of $3.00 per student. This will be applied to the cost of visiting Impression 5. The Parent Club will cover the remaining balance. The Capitol tour and Historical Museum are free for students.. There may be time to visit a gift shop, so students may bring a small amount of money. However, we are not responsible for lost or stolen money.
Dress in layers. Much of the time we will be indoors, however, we may walk several blocks between the Capitol and museums. February can be cold and windy! Wear comfortable shoes.
It is a long bus ride. Students may bring I-pods and PSP’s (or something similar) with headphones. They will be locked on the bus while we are at the Capitol and museums. We are not responsible for lost or stolen items. Books, Sudoku, crossword, and word search puzzles are encouraged.
Note to Chaperones
We ask that all parent chaperones communicate with one another to organize carpools. Hudsonville Public Schools is not responsible for the cost of parking at the Michigan Historical Museum, so please be prepared to cover this cost. There is no charge for chaperones at the Capitol or Impression 5, but there is a $4.00 admission fee into the Historical Museum.
Parent chaperones, please plan to be in your child’s classroom by 8:45 a.m. This will allow time for handing out maps and schedules, reviewing expectations, and addressing carpooling needs.
Sincerely,
The Fourth Grade Team
On Wednesday, May 7, all Hudsonville fourth graders will attend a West Michigan Symphony concert at the Frauenthal Theatre in Muskegon. The concert starts at 11:00 a.m. and will last 50-55 minutes. We will eat a late lunch (at 1:00ish) when we return to school.
