 4th Grade PLANTATION PINES CHRISTMAS TREE FARM FIELD TRIP!!

When: Monday, December 6th (we will be leaving at 8:45 am)

Where: 10098 CR 429, Tyler, TX 75704

Cost: $8 per student (Please send this by Friday, December 3)

What does a farm fun day look like?

The Plantation Pines field trip is from 10:00-12:15! During that time we will have groups split up and enjoy a storytime, hayride in the field, and games! Each station will be 25 minutes long with a 5 minute transition to allow us to sanitize after each group. We will have a picnic lunch and play on the playground.

Due to the safety of the children while on the farm, some parents may be asked to walk to the field, or sit on the floor on the hayride.

There is no charge for teachers or parents who come along to help supervise.
