This Friday, September 28th is our Wendella Boat trip around Chicago. We will be taking the boat along the Chicago River and the coast of Lake Michigan.
THE BUS WILL LEAVE WESTGATE AT EXACTLY 9:20 am, so please make sure that your student is on time for school. We need to leave on time in order to make it for our boat’s departure time. We certainly don’t want to “miss the boat.”
We are hoping that the weather is nice and sunny on Friday. If so, please make sure that your child applies sunscreen prior to leaving home. Please also keep in mind that the students sit outside on the upper deck for the tour. Because the upper deck is not enclosed, it is recommended that your child is dressed appropriately! We suggest dressing in layers, including wearing warm jackets and socks. (Remember, the wind chill on the boat is a lot colder than being on land!). In addition, if it happens to rain, the boat tour still goes on. Be sure to bring an umbrella and wear lots of waterproof clothing if there’s a chance of rain occurring.
Please don’t forget to bring a sack lunch and drink in a disposable bag with your name labeled on the front if you did not pre-order a lunch last week. Everything will be thrown away on the boat when we are finished.
The following people in our class pre-ordered a lunch and do not need to bring their own sack lunch to school: Jack, Jeff, Libby, and David
Students do not need to bring any money because there is not any shopping available to them on the boat. In addition, we would prefer for students to not bring any cameras for fear of the disappointment that would occur if they got lost. Teachers will be bringing a camera to take photos of the sights, class photos, and group shots of all of us. We will be sure to post pictures for you.
We are looking forward to a fun day and thanks for your help in making this a successful trip!
Hope you guys have a great time. Wish I could be there!!!
