Fighting Island Trip

We are all hopeful that the weather will cooperate and that we will have a beautiful summer day for our adventure.  We will go rain or shine and the island is generally a couple of degrees cooler.  In the event of thunderstorms, we will be at Giles Campus for the day.

Below is a checklist that may help you to prepare your child for this trip.

• Eat a good breakfast.
• Lightweight long sleeve shirts and long pants are recommended as there are insects on the island.
• Apply sunscreen  and insect repellant to your child.
• Wear a hat (sunglasses optional).
• Dress for the weather (rain or shine).
• Children MUST wear closed shoes (running shoes recommended) – NO sandals.
• NO backpacks for students on the trip.
• We cannot leave any garbage on the island.  
• Please put your child's lunch in a large plastic freezer bag or brown bag with their name on it (We are putting them all together in coolers and school-style lunch bags would be very bulky).  Please no Thermos containers.  Reusable drink containers are great to hold water and juice.
• You are asked to provide a garbage-free lunch and a drink.
• Please remember no gum, smoking, or coffee cups are permitted on the island.
