City Hall Field Trip Reminder


Tomorrow (May 28) is our walking/VTA field trip to San Jose City Hall.  Please make sure your student has a disposable bag lunch with their name on it and nothing breakable inside, comfortable shoes, a hat, and their class t-shirt.  Please check the weather to determine if a sweater is needed.  We will leave immediately after taking roll and return at approximately 2:00.  Remind your student that we are representing Ruskin School and need to be on our best behavior.  It should be a great opportunity to learn more about our local government.
