Rivers Day

Tomorrow, Friday, Oct. 14 is River's Day at BEST and all classes will be making their way down to the river to rotate through a number of presentations/ stations by local organizations. I am excited to participate as all of our Rivers Days have been wonderful learning experiences for everyone. Extra supervision will be welcome.
For your information:

• We would like all classes sitting in front of the main tent at the river by 9:50ish. When you walk down Windsor, cross Schubert, head slightly right, and go down the bank on the trail by the cement pylons.
• Parents are more than welcome to attend but if they are smokers, please go up to Schubert Drive.
• There will be a porta- potty on Schubert Drive for our use. An adult will go with little ones, or they will go with a buddy (a Gr. 5 or 6 student).
• Students are welcome to bring a water bottle.
• It is important students dress for the day. Hat, mitts, warm coat, layers, and appropriate footwear are all necessary for a day spent down by the water on the beach where the temperatures are much cooler and it tends to be windy.
