The children will be going on a field trip to the Zoo on July 11, 2026. Plan to be at the church by 9:00 A.M. to depart by 9:30 A.M. and arrive at the zoo when they open at 10:00 A.M. I plan on having everyone back at the church by approximately 2:00 P.M. Please make sure the children each have a sack lunch for a picnic in the park. There will be time spent at the zoo, followed by lunch, followed by a train ride, followed by time to play at the playground before we head home. 

As chaperones begin to volunteer, I will have a better idea of carpool and groups for the day.  If your child requires a car seat let PJ know in advance. She has one a valid one already in her car and can purchase others if necessary. If you would like to chaperone and/or drive please talk to PJ ASAP. I am anticipating at this time no more than 12-15 kids but that could change at any time. That means I would need 3-4 more drivers depending on how many seats are in your car and how many booster seats are required for the day.

The children have actively been earning money to pay for this trip. If for some reason your child still needs money for the trip. I will let you know by June 14, 2026. 

Please have each child's permission slip (and additional money if needed) turned in no later than July 5, 2026. If you need another or have lost yours, there is a file on this page to print another.  As permission slips are turned in, I will post a table of who is paid for. If you choose to chaperone, I anticipate to pay for your entry ticket and train ride as well. The is a table at the very bottom of the page listing what is paid for. I don't want to place names on the website so I will only put initials down. 

Don't forget to bring

• Comfortable Closed Toed Shoes (there will be lots of running and playing on the playground)
• Jacket if Necessary
• Small Backpack (if desired) 
• Water Bottle (with name on it somehow)
• Sack Lunch (I will have coolers for items that need to be chilled)
• Money for Gift Shop (if desired)
• Sunscreen (Let PJ know if you send some)

As usual reach out to PJ with questions or concerns.
