Dear Parents,

It is hard to believe that another school year has come to an end! I hope that you have a wonderful summer!

I did want to share some information with you about exciting field trips that are planned for next year so that you could plan accordingly to ensure that your child gets to participate in his/her grade level trip. All field trips are based on South Carolina’s current academic standards and are designed to support lessons taught in the classroom.

Second grade students will be going to the Atlanta Aquarium in Atlanta, Georgia on April 6, 2017. Students will enjoy a day trip that includes a tour of the aquarium, a Dolphin Celebration Show, an Under the Boardwalk Sea Lion Show, a 4D Fun-believable Show, and an included lunch at the Cafe’ Aquaria.

Third grade students will be going to Columbia, South Carolina on March 22, 2017. Students will enjoy a day trip that includes a guided tour of the State Capitol, time at the South Carolina State Museum, and visit to the Riverbanks Zoo.

On November 21-22, 2016, fourth grade students will be going to the Barrier Island Environmental Education Camp located on Seabrook Island which is about twenty-five miles south of Charleston, South Carolina. Students will participate in classes either on the beach, in the salt marsh, or in classroom buildings such as a herpetarium, aquarium, or arts and crafts building.

Fifth grade students will be going to Charleston, South Carolina on November 2-3, 2016. Students will participate in activities such as an Eco Tour at the Isle of Palms County Park, a tour of the Yorktown, and a carriage ride.

More information will be shared in the fall, but for now, please mark your calendars and make note of the payment schedule attached.

I look forward to seeing you soon! If you have questions, please don’t hesitate to contact me!
