Please see the following email, shared with families earlier this evening:

Good evening,

As you know, we are going to be travelling to the Texaco storm pond off of Highway 69 on Friday with both Grade 5 classes. This field trip is being coordinated with Inside Education, who will be running the programming. They require a ratio of 1 adult for every 8 students for their programming. Currently, we have 2 confirmed parent chaperones for both classes. We will not be able to participate in this program if this does not change. Please, if anyone has any time available to volunteer on Friday, we need parent chaperones to attend this trip.

Unfortunately, as we are going to be transporting two large classes of Grade 5 students, the bus will be full for this trip. So, we are asking parents to drive out to meet us or to follow us in their own vehicle. If planning to follow us, the bus will be leaving school at 11:15 am on Friday morning. We will leave the storm pond at approximately 2:00 pm, and should be returning to school around 2:45 pm. If parents are comfortable meeting us at the Texaco storm pond they may do so. We will be arriving at approximately 12:00 pm. The directions are as follows:

From Fort McMurray
1. Head south on Hwy 63 to Saprae Creek Trail/Hwy 69
2. Turn left (east) onto Saprae Creek Trail and continue past the airport
3. Turn right at the road leading to the U-Haul yard. Continue straight past McKenzie Kennels to the end of the road
4. Inside Education staff will meet you in the parking area at the end of the road

Attached is also a map as well as information from Inside Education for volunteers about the programming taking place that day. 

Again, we need parent chaperones in order to participate in this program! We really appreciate having volunteers join us on this trip. If you are able to volunteer, please contact myself or Ms. Reid as soon as possible. Thank you,  

- Ashley Barrington, Grade 5 Teacher
