Africa Fundraiser

Africa Fundraiser

Ms. Truxall’s class is raising money to send to the African Wildlife Foundation.  Our class has been studying areas of Africa and its animals. Many of these animals are endangered due to habitat loss, climate change, farming, the pet trade and poachers.  Our class feels strongly about keeping these animals as safe as possible. Please donate any amount that you can to help these animals.  Put your donation into an envelope, write Africa Donation and your name clearly, and give it to Ms. Truxall.  She will take all the donations and add her own donation and send it off to Africa to help these animals.  If you would like more information, please visit the website at www.awf.org. Thank you!

Field Trip Tomorrow- All students and chaperones please read

  Our field trip to the Matthaei Botanical Gardens in Ann Arbor is tomorrow.  Chaperones please be here by 8:45am. Check in at the office, check in with me and I’ll need one of you to watch the front parking lot for our bus.  They won’t tell us when they’ve arrived.  Our goal is to  leave by 9:15.
 We will be outside for part of the trip. Please dress for the weather and be sure to wears closed toe shoes.  Bring umbrellas.  There is a 70% chance of rain.
Adult chaperones who do not ride the bus will pay $1.70/hour for parking, payable at the kiosks located at either front or west entrance.
 We can use the auditorium for lunch in case of rain, othewise, we’ll picnic in the picnic grove which has several long tables. You may like to bring a few blankets to spread out as well.
We do go outside in light rain. In case of heavy rain we’ll have an indoor activity to substitute for the trails.
While the mosquitos weren’t bad yesterday, with the rain and warm temps I suspect they’re going to be out in full force soon. Bug spray is a good idea to protect against mosquitoes and ticks.
 We will continue with classes in the afternoon when we return from the field trip.  Thank you.
