Pequea Elementary School issued the following announcement on May 5.

We are super excited to take an all-school field trip again! This day is a great opportunity for us to spend time together outside of the school building connecting and enjoying each other’s company in a less formal environment.

This year’s trip will be to Muddy Run Park in Holtwood, PA on Tuesday, May 24th (rain date May 31st). Students will engage in a variety of outdoor activities focusing on social skills, conservation, animals, nature, the life cycle, etc. Partnering with us to make this possible is Muddy Run Park, PA Game Commission, PA Fish & Boat Commission, and Raven Ridge Wildlife Center.

We will depart the school at 9:30 AM and return at 2:25 PM. All faculty and staff will be chaperoning the trip so we do not need additional chaperones. It is important that students be on-time to school as we have a schedule to keep and will not be able to turn around for anyone who might miss the bus. All kindergarten students are invited to attend the full day with us reporting to school for a 9:00 start and dismissing with all other students at 3:25 PM. Students should plan to dress appropriately for the day’s activities. Sneakers are strongly encouraged and please consider applying sunblock to your child in the morning before they leave for school. NO FLIPFLOPS!

The school will provide a picnic lunch and students have a choice of three options:

1. Pizza Lunchable Kit
2. Turkey Sub
3. Peanut Butter & Jelly (grape jelly)

   The accompaniments will be: chips, fruit, juice, and water.

An extra surprise for our students will be TJ’s Ice Cream Truck! We will provide a list of available items for you prior to our trip so you can review for any student with allergy or diet restrictions.

Please complete the form below for each child in your household. There are two options for completion: one is an electronic form you can complete online. The other is a form you can download and print. If needed we have also made the form available in print from our website that you can download and print to complete per child. Please complete all permission and lunch orders by Monday, May 9th at 12:00 PM.
