Gorge Park Beach (Park) Day

Just a reminder that today Green Pod is heading to Gorge Park.  We will be walking, so wear running shoes.  We will also be outside all day (leave the school at 9 am and return by 2:45), and we will locate our home base close to the washrooms.

The park has washrooms, a playground, grass fields, a beach area, and picnic benches.  Students will have full use of the park.  We will cordon off a portion of a parking lot for supervised scootering - kids must wear helmets.  Kids may wade in the water, but no swimming as we have no lifeguard.

Here is a list of things to bring:
- food (snacks and a full lunch)
- water bottles
- proper outdoor clothing (hat, jacket)
- towel
- sunscreen
- backpack
- entertainment (students need special teacher permission to use electronic devices): books, cards, games, sports equipment, etc.
- anything else to make the day more enjoyable, like a picnic blanket

*Students must carry everything to and from the park.

Parents may stop by to visit at any time.

Here's to a great day!
