Jefferson City Field Trip

A trip to Jefferson City is a tradition and a required field trip for fourth graders in Grain Valley. The trip is planned for November 3rd as we will leave school at 6:45 with an approximate return time of 3:30 pm. All students will need to be brought to school, but it our intention to be back to school in time for student to ride the bus home. Students will need to bring a disposable sack lunch with no glass containers and they may bring a snack for the ride home. Any parent volunteers are welcome! Please let me know by October 20th if you plan to attend! Please keep in mind this a trip for fourth graders only; other children may not attend the field trip.
