Coop trip!

Families,
As a kick off to our Resource Conservation and Sustainability work (it's in our Science curriculum but since it is a personal passion of mine, I go above and beyond), I plan to take the class to the Hunger Mtn Coop on Monday, October 7. They do a fantastic tour for us, with lessons, local foods discussion and even a goody bag! Parents can join us. We will leave UES at 9:00 and return by 11:30.
Thanks!
