Bandelier Field Trip
On Thursday, May 10, the fourth grade class will be taking a hiking field trip to Bandelier National Monument.
During the morning, we’ll take a 2 ½ mile loop hike on Tsankawi Mesa to tour Anasazi cliff dwellings. In the afternoon, we’ll have a picnic lunch, and then hike Frijoles Canyon to explore the main ruins. Students should be prepared for the elements and wear sturdy sneakers or hiking boots, and a hat to block the sun. They should also bring a small backpack with sunscreen, their own lunch, and at least one water bottle.
There's a transportation charge of $8 per student for those kids who didn't pay the one-time $35 bus fee in the fall: Josh, Trempealeau, Jesus, Kaili, Sakura, David, Lauren, Andrew. Please send cash, or a check made out to the school by Wednesday. If we have time on our way back to Taos, we’ll stop for ice cream in Espanola, so kids should bring $4 or $5 cash for that stop.
Students should be at school ready to go at 8:15 a.m., and we’ll return by 5 p.m.
Parents are invited to come along with us to help chaperone. There will be plenty of room on the bus. If you drive yourself, please realize that school rules require that students ride the bus on the way TO Bandelier. You may sign them out at the end of the day and take them home yourself at about 2:30 when we leave the park.
Permission slips went home with students today. Please sign those and send them back to school by Wednesday.
