places/family-harvest-farm/ Our first trip to the farm will be this Friday, December 13th from 9:40~12:40pm. Thank you to MacCallister, Maldonado, Kaifi, Ramos & Sierra parents/grandparents for volunteering to drive! Drivers need to be here by 9:35am. Students will need to bring a sack lunch to eat at the farm, and they need to dress appropriately for being outside. Starting in January, the students will be going back out to the farm in smaller groups. Look for an email with dates, and opportunities to drive.
- Victorian Day on Thursday, December 19th. Students will “put on” the character they have created, and will participate in a “Victorian Party”. Students need to come dressed as a Victorian lady, gentlemen, or child. Attached are pictures from previous Victorian Days, so you can get an idea of how the students are expected to dress. We are still in need of you to sign up to bring something for our banquet. Please go to this link and sign up https://www.signupgenius.
