A Peek At What We are Doing in Fifth Grade

Wednesday is the big day, ECO WEEK! I hope everyone is at least half as excited as I am.

Please plan to arrive about 8:55 on Wednesday. With everyone else inside the school, we’ll have plenty of room to get everyone in the right place.

Your child should be wearing his or her Eco Week shirt and have a backpack/ daypack with gloves, jacket, hat, lunch, snack, 2 water bottles, and lip balm. Everything else should be in his or her luggage.

When you arrive, please remember to have your child carry his or her luggage from the car. Your first stop will be to put a tag on your luggage (Boys - Green & Girls - Blue) and put the luggage in line for the luggage bus. After we get the luggage bus loaded, we’ll have the kids get on the other buses. The kids ride on the bus with their Eco Week group -wolves and pika are on one bus and the moose and bears are on the other. The kids should know their group. If your child is unsure which group is his or hers, please ask a staff member. Buses usually head out about 9:20. Keep in mind that a quick kiss and a hug goodbye is sometimes best, but you are welcome to hang around and wave goodbye as we leave.

Please be at the school by 2:00 on Friday to pick up your child. They’ll be very tired and ready to go home.

Newsletter, September 14th

We need all Eco Week forms returned by Thursday, September 20th. Medication forms and the actual medicine need to be brought to the office by Wednesday, September 19th. You can pay for Eco Week in School Pay or send a check made out to Zach Elementary for $120. We will never let cost stand in the way of this amazing opportunity. Please let me know if you have any concerns about the cost.

Just two other quick reminders about Eco Week. If your child is going to be wearing hiking boots, it’s a good idea to start wearing them now to get the nice and broken in. Encourage your child to start drinking extra water now. Altitude sickness is no fun.
