**Reminder**

Tomorrow, Monday, May 13th we will be going to Penick Park. Parents are welcome to meet us there.

The buses will leave at 8:30 and return shortly after 1:00. If your child is bringing a lunch, please do not send things that need to be kept cold. We will have ice chests for drinks. Please send 2 plastic, disposable water bottles with your child’s name on them. Please write your child’s name on their lunch also. We are requesting that you put sunscreen on your child before they leave for school that morning. Dress your child appropriately for the weather and park (shorts and tennis shoes).

Also if you have any extra outdoor toys like bubbles, balls, and chalk you are welcome to bring those to share.
