Dear Kindergarten Families,

           Our Kindergarten field trip this year will be to

Centennial Farm at the Orange County Fairgrounds on

Wednesday, April 3, 2019. The attached permission slip

is due Wednesday, March 27, 2019. Our bus is paid for by

our HSA. The farm requests a donation of $1.00 per child

if you would like to contribute to the continuation of the

program they offer.

           The facility is closed to the public during our

scheduled tour. We will have the opportunity to see farm

animals and crops. There will be an option to hold a chick

and there will be different types of hay at the farm.

           Our farm tour begins promptly at 9:00 a.m. We

want to make sure we are on time, so we request that

you have your child to school Wednesday, April 3rd no

later than 7:45 a.m. Our plan is to leave on the bus by

8:00 a.m. Arriving on time will allow us to unpack, take

attendance, get our lunches into baskets and get everyone

ready to board the bus promptly. The trip to Costa Mesa

could take up to an hour if traffic is heavy. Thank you for

your consideration and for helping us to be timely.

     Another couple of items of importance:  

Students should all come to school with a bag that

includes both a snack and a lunch. They should be

labeled with your child’s name in marker. We will eat

after our tour and the students will be very hungry

from all of the excitement, so please pack according

to your child’s thirst and appetite.  Students should be

wearing long blue jeans (no shorts please), a red St I. shirt,

tennis shoes, and the red St. I sweatshirt/jacket if it is

chilly. This is the most safe and comfortable clothing for

your child’s day at the farm. Applying sunscreen before we

leave and wearing a hat are also advised, as we are outside

for a large part of our day.

            When the tour is over at about 10:30 a.m., we will take a

group picture and go to the restroom. After that we will eat. We

will get back on the bus to head back to school at about 12:00 p.m.

We plan to return to school by 1:00 p.m. Please let us know if you

have any questions or concerns.

             Thank you,

                    Mrs. Liljeberg and Mrs. Cierley
