Dear 4th Graders and Parents,
Our trip to Wolf Ridge Environmental Learning Center is fast approaching.
In order to take care of last minute details, we have attached your group’s
schedule for the week. At the May1st meeting you received the clothing and
equipment list, the rules, emergency contact information, and health notice.
GENERAL INFORMATION
1. We ask that you try to get all your clothing in one suitcase or duffel
bag, as luggage space is limited.
a. All clothing should be placed in a suitcase or duffel bag. Do not
pack clothing in plastic bags.
b. Please pack boots and shoes in your suitcase or duffel bag
rather than tying them to handles.
c. All sleeping bags need to be protected by packing them in a
bag. Garbage bags work well.
d. Please label your suitcase and sleeping bag (clothes, too if
possible).
e. Please bring an extra plastic bag for dirty clothes.
2. It is OK to bring your pillow and a small bag or back pack with books,
pencils, etc. on the bus. Do not bring any food or drink onto the
bus. We will provide each child with a journal on the bus.

your name on it. Give it to your group leader Monday morning.
Students with parents attending should also give money to the
group leader.
