Joe Budd Aquatic Center

April 10, 2015

Dear Parents,

            On May 4th/5th our classes will be taking a field trip to Joe Budd!  Joe Budd Aquatic Education Center (JBAEC) is located just outside Tallahassee, in the midst of a Wildlife Management Area, and provides an opportunity for students to learn about aquatic ecology in a natural setting. Students participate in a study of pond life and are provided with equipment and supervised instruction while they enjoy fishing in JBAEC's well-stocked 15-acre pond.

Having enough chaperones is crucial to any field trip. By actively supervising, chaperones can help to make sure our children are safe and add to the enjoyment of the trip.   If you can help out in this capacity, please indicate below.  We may need some chaperones to drive and/or ride in cars, as bus space is sometimes limited.  If you are willing to do this, please indicate that below also.  Thank you in advance!

            Students must have satisfactory behavior to be eligible to attend. 

Please encourage your child to dress in comfortable and appropriate clothes and shoes.  This particular trip will be entirely outdoors.  Please make sure that sunscreen and/or bug repellent have been applied before they come to school.  Hats and sunglasses are welcome on this day to provide additional sun protection.

We will leave school around 9:30 am and return around 1:00 pm.  The cost of this field trip is $6 per child.  All money and permission slips are due on or before Monday, April 27th.  We cannot accept checks.  If you have any questions, please feel free to contact your child’s teacher at 488-6225.

                                                                                    Sincerely,

                                                                                    The 4^rd Grade Team
