Plimoth Plantation

                                                            Living History Here We Come!

We will visit the living history museum of Plimoth Plantation and the Mayflower II Wednesday, October 24th. In order to take in all the sites the grade three staff have voluntarily extended the school day. The PTO has generously agreed to cover the cost of the buses so students need to pay only the museum admission. There were many parents who volunteered to chaperone - Thank you! The lucky lottery winners were Mr. Wells and Mrs. Foley.

Students should arrive at school Wednesday morning at 7:40. Buses will leave at 7:50. Electronics are allowed, but are the responsibility of the students. They must be left on the bus as backpacks are not allowed in the village. Students should bring a "bus pack" with a morning and afternoon snack, and a book, sketch pad, electronics, or other entertainment for the ride down and back. Upon arrival at school students will put their lunch in the class bin which will be taken off the bus to the lunch pavilion at Plimoth. Lunches should be bagged separately from snacks, be fully disposable, and clearly labeled with the students name. NO PEANUT BUTTER lunches or snacks please! We will be traveling with students who have nut allergies. We will tour the village, homesite, and barn in the morning. After lunch the buses will move to the waterfront where the students will board the Mayflower II and visit Plymouth Rock. We will depart for home at 2:00 and plan to arrive at Coolidge around 3:30. Students should be picked up in the gym at 3:30. If your son/daughter is being picked up by someone other than their parent/guardian please notify us in writing by Tuesday.

We look forward to this exciting educational adventure.
