Children's Literature Festival Field Trip - March 17th - Warrensburg, MO

Thanks to everyone who returned the permission form for our upcoming trip. If you haven't, please return asap.

Some notes about the day:
  • We leave shortly after the bell, so make sure your child is on time to school.
  • This trip involves a lot of walking outside on the University of Central Missouri Campus, so watch the weather and make sure your child dresses comfortably.
  • Students may bring devices for the bus, but they are responsible for them. Devices need to be put away in drawstring bags once we arrive at the campus.
  • Students may choose to purchase lunch on campus (at least $7) or bring a sack lunch.
  • If time allows, we will visit the festival book sale.  Optional: students may bring money to purchase a book.
  • The bus will arrive back at RBE around 3:45.  Please make sure you have arranged for your child to be picked up at that time.  Buses will be gone, and everyone will need a ride home.
