Indian Summer Festival Field Trip

Friday, September 11, 2009

Itinerary for our trip:
9:30 AM Board a charter bus @ St. Jacobi
10:00 AM Arrive at the festival grounds (H. Maier Festival Park)
  • Chaperons direct each group of students through the self-guided open-air cultural festival, staying together at all times. Eat lunch and take breaks at the direction of the chaperons. Groups are welcome to merge into a larger group at the chaperons’ discretion.
1:30 PM Board the bus for the return trip

  • Come prepared for a variety of varying weather conditions.
  • Students are responsible for their behavior
  • Chaperons are responsible for our students’ safety and to guide them in pursuit of educational experiences. Playground areas are off-limits.
  • Plan on purchasing your lunch on the grounds. Bring at least $3. Menu items include traditional Native American foods, like Indian tacos, frybread, and corn soup. Typical modern foods should also be available.
  • Students will have “Quest Cards” which are designed as a learning tool. When students visit designated areas, volunteers will stamp the cards. The goal for students is to receive at least 6 stamps on the cards. When completed, students should leave the bottom portion of the card with the volunteers. Quest Cards will be available from Mr. Scharf after we check in.
  • All students and chaperons are required to wear armbands to enter the grounds. These will be distributed at check in.
  • This is an educational school trip. It is also a privilege. All school rules are in effect and will be enforced. Students who misbehave will not join the class on future field trips. At the same time, this trip is meant to for students to learn in a less structured environment. Plan for a fun and exciting day!
  • Student groups will be formed this week and will be available to chaperons on Friday morning.
  • Chaperon list: L. Burke, C. Spaude, B. VanGrinsven, B. Grube, E. Krutz, L. Hopp, V. Brandenburg, D. Barnharst, M. Bertram, J. Emmrich, B. Rohleder, L. LeVack, E. Dziekan, C. Bailey, J. Martinez
