Bandelier field trip next week:
-On Friday, May 13, the fourth grade class will be taking a hiking field trip to Bandelier National Monument, near Los Alamos. 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 down the Frey Trail into Frijoles Canyon about 2 more miles 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, at least one water bottle, and their own lunch (if they don't order a school-provided sack lunch).
The trip will cost $8 for bus transportation. Please send cash, or a check made out to the school. We were granted an educational waiver from the National Park Service for this visit, so there is no charge for our group to enter Bandelier. If we have time, we’ll stop for ice cream at the Dairy Queen in Espanola our way back to Taos, so kids should bring an extra $5 or so cash for that stop. Students should be at school ready to go at 8:15 a.m., and we’ll return by 5:00 p.m. It should be a great trip!
Permission slips will go home with students Monday.
